I know that 10X5 eg. is a measurement and should perform the same in any brand but....but they are so differently shaped that I wonder if there is some advantage of one design over the other.
Thanks for the imput!
APC props are more efficient than a MAS prop. To get AN APPROXIMATE EQUIVELANT for power/performance, an APC 10x5 will provide slightly more power/performance than a MAS 10x6, but slightly less than a MAS 10x7.
The MAS props flex more than an APC, so thay are not as efficient. On the plus side, the MAS props are a lot more tolerant of prop strikes (prop hitting the ground ) than an APC.
Another thing to consider is the noise from the prop. Because APC are less flexible than MAS, they are several db quieter than MAS. This is something to keep in mind if noise levels are extremely critical where you fly.
