Props
Hi guys,
My LHS and domestic mail order houses that I know (Canada) have next to no APC pylon series props in stock. I need to buy a few different sizes to experiment on my Magnum and Whiplash.
Any recommendation as to a good North American mail order source? I find several vendors through Google, but they seem to only list one or two sizes.
Thx

RE: Props
Go directly to APC for what you want, their service is very good. WWW.landing products.com I think.

RE: Props
Direct through APC is more expensive (I've never figured that one out), I use www.darrolcady.com or www.pspec.com , but they primarily only stock the hard to find pylon props with D-1 hubs.

RE: Props
Thanks guys, I will check those out!
Re APC direct more expensive: I would hazard a guess that if APC is like many other manufacturers in other markets I know, they will offer their products direct but only at MSRP in order to avoid competition with their dealers, who "may sell for less". This provides a ready supply from the factory if someone can't locate a product or suitable vendor, while honoring the dealers investment in time and money to stock their product.

RE: Props
Yeh, go to the APC site, That is also where I order sizes that even "Tower" does not have. One little trick is that APC props are on the expensive side. That is why I alway throw on a cheap wooden one for a few flight to see if the plane has any bad habits that can break it before I install a good one
