RE: .020 Props
Larry, my TD .020's really love the APC 4.2x2
Tower has them, but you'll need to make a spacer/adapter to run them on the TD. I think I was spinning them at about 24k on 25% nitro....This combo would make a clean 8oz airplane really move out...

RE: .020 Props
I used a 5x2 on mine, it appears to be a Graupner, at any rate it worked very well. Now that I dug it out I'm trying to remember what kind of run time I got with the stock tank. Seems like it was only a couple of minutes of tense flying.

I picked up a couple of packs of nicely made spacers made especially for the APC small props. Made by/for Cambells Custom Kits and sold on the Bay under lil Red Riding Hood. These are brass and are definitely worth the small amount of money that you pay for them.
They are step down type which will fill that hole in the back of the prop and sleeve the rest down to at least allow a 5/40 or 2mm screw to fit comfortably. So if you need a smaller hole then it's simply another piece of brass sleeve and your done.

RE: .020 Props
Like Bipe Flyer, I use the Cox 4.5 x 2 prop. I use the black nylon version which seems to be a little less load but still hooks up well. Haven't seen many for sale though.
I use my .020's mostly for throttled use & sport flying so I haven't tried the APC that Jeremy uses. I've seen it run and yes, it boogies.
