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,
Can you please comment on the difference between Bambula 18x8 and APC 18x8W? Other than the weight difference, how do these 2 vary in thrust and peak rpm on the same engine? 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!
