Default Need a sturdy carbon prop...

I need a recommendation for a prop for a YA Spitfire. This one has a tendency to tip forward on its nose if the landing isn’t perfect. I typically use wood props to prevent damage to the engine, but after going through a bunch recently I’m ready to take my chances with a stronger carbon prop. I fly off grass or a tarp runway so I’m not worried about damaging the prop.

I have seen some carbon props that are light but break when you look at ‘em funny (Mejzlik?) and others that dig sod and come out fine. I’d like the sod digging kind in an 18x12 or 18x10, to fit a Fuji 43.

Who makes a strong carbon prop in that size?
