RE: Wood or Nylon props?!
As mentioned in previous posts, I've found Master Airscrew (MAS) props to be the most durable, so I use those on belly-landed planes, and planes with very little prop-ground clearance. APC props flex much less and seem to be more efficient, but aren't quite as durable as MAS. I use APC props on most of my planes. Wood props break very easily, I don't use those at all.
