There are a couple of cottage shops that might be interested in making CF clones of out favorite props. I thought the Rev-Up 11x7 3/4 would be a good one to copy. Because I only have one!
How many people would be interested?

Just curious....why would one go through all the trouble since a perfectly fine alternative is cheap and available? APC 11x8; less noise and more thrust from the same power source

If it's Academic curiosity.... I totally get that.

Some guys that used those props in the 70's and 80's and still use them today, feel they're pretty good. I don't know if they are better still than modern props or not. I've just started to gather a prop collection for high rpm 60's/61's and simply am wondering about the matter.
Which engine are you using the 11x8 APC? I noticed, like Tony said, the Rev-Up's were shallower in pitch than advertised. APC's seem to be right on so your engine must be a monster.
