I haven't seen it mentioned yet in this thread, so I thought I'd bring it up. Don't use wooden props to fly from water. Wooden props are great for regular flying but can be splintered easily by common spray during take offs or landings on water.

Propellers are like everything else in this hobby, you need to try a variety of different products in a variety of different applications and figure out how to utilize each choice in the best way available.
Spoken like a true politician.
And to think, you don't want to run again next year.
I like the look of a wooden prop. But, with my flying skills, I stll have the occasional prop strike. The only one I tried in the past snapped at the slightest contact. I decided to wait a while before trying any more wooden props.

Hah! Do you know how my campaign for the club board began?
Steve Culver (Club President): "Hey Ed, I think you should run for the board of directors next year."
Big Ed Mustafa (Unwitting Victim): "Really, I'm not so sure I'd be a good match for the board."
Steve Culver: "Sure you would, I'll add you to the slate of candidates."
My campaign to become treasurer was also a masterful stroke of political genius:
Big Ed Mustafa (Big Ed Mustafa at home watching TV when the phone rings): "Hello?"
Kevin Hyde (Treasurer for last 17 years): "Hey Ed, it's Kevin. I have to go to Georgia for two years and I want you to take over as treasurer."
Big Ed Mustafa: "Umm, can't you find somebody else to be Treasurer? How about Skip?"
Kevin Hyde: "It was Skip who suggested that you'd be a great treasurer, and I was thinking either you or Skip."
Big Ed Mustafa: "That dirty, rotten son of a..."
I figure getting Kevin elected to the Treasurer's post again will be revenge on him. I'm still plotting my revenge on Skip.
