Best gas prop for 3D
What do people feel is the best gas motor prop for 3d?
I would like a 23x6 but someone that makes "good" props but notta.[:@]
I've got the Xoar 23x8 and it works good but I would like to see a faster spool-up. It seemed like the Vess A series prop might fit the bit assuming it had an average pitch of say 6-7 but upon contacting them say their the average pitch on those props are still 8.
BME has some props they market as 3d props....3 Da (but its also just an 8 pitch) I find that hard to believe its going to be good for 3D any more than the rest of the 8 pitched props.
The key to a 3d prop is swinging a bigger prop with less pitch for the same revs.....
What do folks think is the best one in their experience?

RE: Best gas prop for 3D
I have a 87inch yak with a B60 on it, standard exhaust, weighs about 15 lbs.
But I'm really talking in general.
On glow engines, I only fly 4 pitch props.
Is there any prop manufacturer out there making 7 pitch at least, 6 average pitch. I have never seen so many people all making the "exact" same thing.
