Default RE: Prop brand and blade efficiency

I did some in the air prop testing of several props one day. I found that props I expected to be similar gave very different performance and that props which I though quite different gave similar performances. One of them was a Zinger 11 x 5 wide 'prop kit' which I had made into a beautiful undercambered prop. Very nice. Then I made a mistake.[] I put on an unmodified Zinger 11 x 5 wide prop kit, and it performed as well as my hand-crafted beauty. [&o]

Anyway, I'd suggest start out with an APC you think would work and go from there. No telling where you might end up.
