I am not going to take the word of the two guys in the video in regards to the test. The test figures of more RPM and more static thrust with the APC really doesn't make much sense. Why would the RPMs be higher? especially with the more thrust? And then the MAS was lower RPM and lower static thrust.

Thrust is the result of the pitch of the prop + RPM So if Pitch + RPM = thrust how is there a difference?

There are too many variables that have to be taken into account for the test to be qualified. Was there a change in the throttle position?

I have flown with both. I like MAS better. However, I would take a good wooden prop over a plastic anyday.
