RE: APC Props?
Heh...CF props are just too expensive for me now and I'm not that MUCH of a speed nut but I do love speed enough to really want to go fast! I'm somewhere around the middle. Too much speed for me are the Q500's and are just too uncomfortable. Looks also matter for my plane.
I love speed but, I wouldnt wanna buy a tuned pipe and sacrifice scale...the big muffler on this 52XLS is already big enough. Some people "exaggerated" and said that my plane went about 190-200mph which I think is not true and would have torn up the airframe. My plane have smoked some turbine jets at the field the other week but I dont think it can smoke the other really faster jets. I'm not trying to go toooo fast because this plane is already fast enough for me as this is my second plane. Its just knowing that I'm not reaching the full potential of this plane makes me cringe.
So here are some pictures of my plane, engine and the APC 10x7 Prop:
