Is anyone making decent wood props in the 12-15" low pitch variety like we use? I like APC and all but they are heavy and really kill a lot of the engines response. Master Airscrew has a prop they call the wood scimitar but it's anly available in larger sizes. It looks like an APC but it nice and light. It was my favorite prop on my OS 160.
Whatever happened to Rev-up? They made some killer props back in the 80's. Generally they were the most efficient back then for a given size.

PS I just got my first YS 63, what would be a good prop to start with on my Burrito?
Thanks

Zingers work, but I like to re-work them a little. The Zinger Pro looks pretty good, somebody here had tried some of them. The regular Zingers have about a 1/16" blunt LE and TE. If you sharpen this it really helps.
PS I like the 13X4W APC on my 63, I have a re-worked Zinger 14X4 on the Sledge, also a 63. Either work great, just try to prop it to at least 11K static (the 13X4W tachs at mid 12K static, the 14X4 Zinger at low 11K static.) I don't care for the 14X4W APC.
