Ok, who can tell me what the difference is between a pattern prop and a sport prop? Obviously they are designed with a particular application in mind, but what are the pros/cons of each type? Also, for prop sizing, are the two identical (i.e., would I use the same 13x8 size, for example, whether it's a sport prop or pattern prop), or is their a rule of thumb for sizing between the two?

Thanks,
George

I read this post just to see how dumb the question was.

I can't answer the question but I too would like the anwser.

Mulligan, are you talking about APC props? If so, you see the dia. + pitch of the pattern props? Pattern props generally have a lot of pitch to dia. (high pitch to dia. ratio) They are stronger to handle the powerful engines involved.( they have a different hub design, etc.) They're for a more specific application than general "sport" props, and sport props are less expensive. I'm sure there are more differences, but off the top of my head, I think these are most of them.

Sport or Pattern has to do with the intended application not to rule it out for others applications.
