Prop question
Gents,
I have a DLE 30cc warbird that I run with a Biella 16X10 3 blade prop. The motor and plane love that prop! my problem is the cost... I cant afford to drop $70 every time i get a nick or crack (happened twice in the last month).
I spoke with Alex at MasterAirscrew and he recommends not to drill their prop for a DLE 30.
interestingly enough, APC make a 15.75X13 3blade with a solid hub I could probably drill for a DLE30... any thoughts?
also, what effect will the difference in prop size have on the motor and plane?

RE: Prop question
I am not a fan of running APC props, or anything but wood on a gasser. Why all you have to do is look at my fingers. With a wood prop you're still going to get hurt. But it's not a spinning razor blade
