This may be an unusual question, but if Zinger, and Top Flite , props are so ineffecient and terrible performers, why do they keep making them. These manufacturers have access to the same design and development as others... hobby shops are stacked with these brands, as well as Master Airscrew...someone must be buying and using them, and are satisfied with the results.....
I'm not trying for an argument, just some input to my question..
My guess is because the cheap propellers do the simple job of pulling the models through the air at a cheap price. The better propellers do that and other things (breaking on down lines, more RPM/speed/thrust, less db, better appearance, balance????????????) too, but there must be enough modelers who are not willing to pay the higher price and do not need, want, know about or care about the added benefits to keep the cheap props selling.
