Default 3d props

been usin an apc 12.25X3.75 with good luck but it cavitates badly just at hover on my 4lb diablotin w. os46fx, which means it needs more pitch. I tried a 12x4 zinger, what a difference, cavitation is gone, the prop weighs much less so it spools up instant. are there any other brands around this size I should try?

With the .46 class engines I like the 12x4 APC or if you have a strong .46 go with a 13x4 APC the spool up is slightly slow but the thrust is awesome. Skip the wide props with the .46's
