Nice! Should work a treat! I only asked about electric because I believe they also have IC props but I've never used them.
I have experimented with hovercraft, however:

RE: vario props
I am a little confused - the blades are advertised in inches - is this each blade or the total diameter of the prop when put together with the hub. Acording to vario wbesite http://www.modellhaus.co.uk/ are supposted to be the UK dealers but i cant see anything on their website.

RE: vario props
Dimensions are complete prop diameters, not blades.
I also had that problem with local supplier and ordered my most recent set direct from Germany - took about a week.

Thanks - I have just got a KMP/YT Twin Otter and thought it might look good with scale 3 bladers - although the Current £ to Euro makes the props slightly expensive at the moment

RE: vario props
May be expensive but when you would normally break a prop you usually just break a vario blade!
Couple that with the ability to tune it to airframe and motors and I think you'll find they are good value.
By the way, I have no connection to Varioprop - other than as a happy customer.
