You give some valid reasons for my NOT using APC props. Rather, I use Master Airscrew and would be using Grish Tornado if they were still available. I have not noticed any performance difference between Master Airscrew and Tornado, they both do the job very well (well, Tornado did when they were available). I especially liked the Top Flite white nylon props with the red tips, their visibility made them very safe to work with, but you just can't get them any more. Since we are stuck with APC (Another Perfect Cut, as someone else said) being on the market for all eternity, why can't the company at least paint the tips of their product? Do they even care about the customer who cuts themselves after forgetting that the propeller is spinning? How much of a lawsuit would it take for them to finally pay attention to their disappearing, rotating knives? I bet that colored tips might bring the price of an APC prop up by a penny, maybe two cents. What could possibly be the big deal with that price difference, especially when it can save possible injuries?

I am sorry NS but there is a known risk when working with spinning props that a law suit for an injury would be as rediculous as that woman who burned herself on McD's coffee and sued. As I did and many others people in this country need to take responsability for their own stupid actions and quit trying to lay blame on anyone but themselves.
