Default RE: WHAT APC PROP IS BEST FOR PKZ F4U CORSAIR

Good Post mad web tv scientist
I am watching this post because I am also very interested.

I could be wrong but prop stiffness is also a major factor. The stock prop is as flexable as a piece of paper.
At 7000rpm I bet this prop really flattens out. Decreasing the pitch . " Less effective "
I use only APC props. They are a much better prop.
Just a guess the stock prop at 7 1/2 " pitch at 8000rpm may have only a 3 or 4 " pitch the same APC could have 6 or 7" pitch

Just an input. Am I on the right track ??
