composite prop question
So I'm getting things pulled together for my 12' Telemaster on floats. I'm picking up a 45cc gas engine (first gasser) and have a question about props. Being that it's going to be on the water, I'm assuming I need a composite prop, no? So, I'm probably going to need a 22x8 prop. What are you folks proping you're large sea birds with? I've found a few carbon props, but they're usually the fancy 3D type that cost $80. Thanks in advance.

Sorry that I can't help you, but where abouts do you fly? and or what club are you a member of? I am just getting into flying but I have good access to a Medicine Lake if you need a place to fly.

RE: composite prop question
Carbon fiber props can split and splinter as well as the wood ones do...... I don't think APC is making props that large anymore, so that leaves Master Airscrew.....

RE: composite prop question
Unfourtuantly, I believe the largest Master Airscrew is a 20x8. Minnreefer, I fly at the Tri-Valley RC club out in Rosemont. I fly my seaplanes up at our cabin in Northern Wisconsin. Thanks for the offer on the lake! Typically I just leave the seaplanes up at the cabin that way I can have more land planes at home.
