....I always "heard" that most of the thrust from a prop
comes from the tips....yet the pitch at the tips of an APC
is almost non-existant, I don't get it....

The "meat"
of the APC's seems to be near the hub, but....unfortunatly
the "hub" was mostly covered by my spinners.
Although others will disagree.....I've never seen an increase
in RPM, speed, acceleration, or climb with the APC's....
