Best prop type for vertical performance
 
What do you think is the best prop type or brand for vertical performance and 3D flying. Not talking about a specific size or pitch but prop type like Menz standard or xoar laminated or ..., Noise not being a factor, just pull, vertical acceleration ETC.

RE: Best prop type for vertical performance
 
I personally like NX, Xoar Laminated, Menz S, and Mejzlik. However one of these brands isn't necessarily my favorite from engine to engine, or from plane to plane. I have to play around to find what I like best, but for me, it usually falls in this group.3W props have been really good to me on some models, and really blah on others. I would consider my experience with Biela props similarly....to that of the 3W. So when I have the appropriate size on hand, or can borrow one, I will gladly try another 3W or Biela, or various other props for that matter. However when purchasing new ones, the odds are far more in my favor going with the first 5 mentioned.

There ain't a best prop - </p>

But  the  setup which allows the  engine to maximize it's power will  always be the  best </p>

 Ideally for  just good old  blast n accelerate  ,you need upwards of  1.5-2 to 1 static thrust  to weight </p>

 It's possible  </p>
