Default RE: Propeller crash course!

There is another way to look at the prop material question. I personally prefer wooden props since the break on impact and transfer very little stress to the engine and the airframe. The nylon/ plastic props do hold up better to little dings and scrapes but on any decent impact (really rough trainer landing) they won't break as easily and could damage the plane when a wood prop might not.
