Are there any good props made in the US?
I plan to do some testing on ACP props and after I get some data I plan to get something "sexy" (and expensive) like a Mejzlik.
All the good props seem to be made in Europe. Are there any good props made in the USA? 20"+ electic?

I did find this thread with a lot of US companies, another member noted there are some errors in the list, but a good place to start!:

Edit: I've sent an e-mail to the bold prop manufacturer to see how his props would work with electric.

The Bold props have not been out long. Our club volunteers at his events and I visit his shop at least once a month. One day he hands me one of his props and asked me to let him know what I thought. Prior to that day I used Xoar. No more. From my experience his props are well balanced and have less resistance giving more rpm. No I don't work for him or anything, I just feel they are a good prop and at a good price.
