I'll take your word for it. You guys have been pretty much spot on with everything else. Nylon it is.

I have to paint some tips on the edges because they're all black. Was thinking yellow or red.
We won't let RCKen mislead you. You can assume he is spot on with every post.

Wood props can be a misery. I would recommend APC Nylon. I also lightly sand the sharp edges, leading and trailing edge, and balance all of mine. If you need to adjust them scrap the front with an X-Acto blade held perpendicular to the surface (like a cabinet scraper). It usually only takes a teeny amount. The problem with paint is that it always flakes off, and usually does so unevenly. Or, as RCKen said, don't worry about it. APC has very good Q.C.
