I wonder if the pilot reached good static PRM while ground testing his
engine.
If he did, than maybe the prop/pitch was not correct.

He might have reached a really good static. So high that the prop goes sonic
and the engine can't make it turn any faster and the "bite" to too small to
reach flying speed. It happens. Too flat a pitch is just as bad as too
much pitch.
