I may fire off a letter telling APC that a line of "safety" props may work to their benefit though. Heck they can always charge more for them.
If APC decided to sell white props with red tips, I would be interested. But for now, I refuse to purchase something that's as sharp as a razor and disappears even while the engine's at idle. So yea, it's worth a shot.
Suggesting that manufacturers be tagged with coloring the tips as a safety issue is just more fodder for the legal profession and they're out of control anyway.
If all propellers were required to be sold with contrasting tip colors (white with red tips, black with yellow or white tips, grey with bright orange tips, for example), there would be no lawsuits needed as long as the companies obeyed the law. What can possibly be wrong with selling a product with such a simple safety feature that might save countless fingers? A prop incident is a very unfortunate thing, but it can happen to the best of us. An APC prop that disappears while spinning may look totally /<rad, but a cut-off finger will make the most awsome 3D stunter become a totally uncool appliance.
