Default RE: Propellers - electric type V normal ?

hi .. sorry i think i may have asked a simular thing later on in the posting .. but can i add something to this thread. The recomended prop for a 300wtt brushless ive bought .. supposedly is 10x6 or 11x6. With a 10x6 it rips .. but trips the esc due to hi current draw. I fitted a 8x4 ( only other near size prop i have ) & it does work (2 good 7min flights) but would a "electric type" prop make any difference. The motor is direct drive .. no gearbox. Its a kavan prop .. pretty bendy .. we used them a lot at our old power field due to the rough terrain .. the kavan do take the knocks. Also they will unwind a bit due to the flex .. so i was quite a fan. I was told a good wood prop was best .. but u could end up fitting a new one every time u flew at our old field..!!
thanks ... russ
