RE: Props for gassers question.
SS, that was really a mouthful, but all truths and stated exactly as I now see it. When I stepped up from glow to gas, and it was a big step for me, I too was unaware that there were so many props other than MA, APC,TF and Zingers.
But more importantly, these new found props were of such quality and provided a level of performance that was just never obtainable with the brand props that I was accustomed to using.
For me back then an APC was the Holy Grail, and now I realise that if you just want to putter around that's fine, but if you like most others want more then there is an additional cost attached to achieving really good performance, and more than likely once you have tasted it there is just no turning back.
Now I just can't think of putting anything but a Xoar prop or it's equivalent on my engine. Just my 02 cents.
