Try the APC 14x4w. It should give you another 600-1000 RPM (if not more). Static thrust might should be a bit better.

Hello my good flyer friends. I have done the maiden flight and I have to tell you that the engine has enough power to do everything. May be not to do it 3 feet from the ground but it can do hover fine. I am running it with a wood 14X6. Now I know that the engine is not giving me all the rpms that it can so my questions are:1- If I lower the pitch on the 14X6 to the 14X4 will I get more rpms? 2- Should I go with a plastic prop? does it matter while in flight? what are the main diferences? 3- what do you think that will happen to the rpms if I go with a 13X6?

Again thank you in advanced for the help.
