Sean,

The Bambula is more prop load than the APC. The Paddles on the Bambula are bigger and will keep the engine where the peak torque is (8000-8500). The Peak RPM on the APC is about 600-1000 more than the Bambula and I would not want to run the engine that high. I can't comment on thrust since I have not measured it. The Bambula prop pulls the plane around very well and is 2.5 ounces compared to the 4.5 ounce APC so spool up is quick. I

Joe,

I've been interested in trying out the Bambula, but haven't made the call to order yet. Just want some reference before I committ. Thanks!
