Default Difference between props for Nitro -vs- 'Lectric?

Hi gang,

I am currently looking into electrifying some of my favorite 1/2A designs, and I've been playing around with motocalc. I am left with the following questions:

What is the difference between electric props and regular? If I buy a 6x3 master airscrew, do I want to get the "Electric only" version? How is it differenct that the standard 6x3 props I use on my Norvel's? Are these props types (electric and Nitro) all the same shape and size, just electrics are made outta different material? Are the prop shaft hole sizes all standardized?

Jason

PS: No, I am not gonna get rid of my Cox and Norvel motors! There is no electric replacement for that wonderful sound, smell, and fury! :-)
