Cool

In short no! but an estimate is possible.
the G4 does 130kph flat out and rotary engines do about 1300rpm
Based on these figures the plane moves about 36.11 meters/sec.
The engine does about 21.66revs/sec
Therefore 36.11 divided by 21.66 gives the pitch of1.67 meters or 65.75 inches which in case you don't know is how far the plane moves for 1 revolution of the propeller.
