I have an E-Flite Mini Showtime with a Park Flyer 480 motor and 50A ESC... what would be the difference in using a wooden 12x6 prop vs using an 12x6E prop?

I tried the XOAR wooden E props, I will not go back to APC E props, the XOAR ones are nice, there is bite and amp draw is lower on the same diameter and pitch so I can increase my pitch by about 1" on a XOAR. Some wood ones are bad, I tried the Turnigy ones, they are cheap but there is no bite in it.

If it is a wood prop designed for glo then it will be thicker and not as effecient as an E prop. The APC are good E prop's The Xoar's are lighter and pull less AMPS for the same size. In some sizes they may be more effecient.
Do not waste your power with an electric motor useing a glo prop, wood or plastic.
I know this is late but
