Default NEED YOUR OPINIONS OR TIPS ON PROPS FOR A TRAINER

I have an Eagle 2 trainer with a .45 Super Tigre. When I first started flying it I was running a 10x7 Top Flight wood prop. It flew great with this prop but I only had 3 of them and eventually broke all 3. I have 3 master airscrew 10x7 props so I put one on. I know plastic flexes and wood doesnt. With this prop it seems to turn more rpms but I think it is loosing power. When I was running the wood props it could fly at 1/2 throtle or a little less and not really put the airplane in a stall situation but with the plastic I seem to have to run the engine a lot harder to get enough power for stable flight. I have to fly it faster than I want to. I'm definately going to buy some more wood props. Maybe I'm still to green, but the wood did seem to perform better. Please give me some advice or opinions on props. These props are 2 blade. Thank You![&:]
