APC make some really great props they don't flex much and are really efficient. That being said they do not handle strikes well. MAS props are a lot tougher and better to get started with. I use APC most of the time but recommend grabbing a couple MAS for the learning curve first but that just me.

Either way, paint the tips with white or yellow paint, APC props are very very hard to see when spinning and make great Ginsu knives when not respected. Painting tips helps you see the arc.
