Props
 
How well do the Top Flight Powerpoint props work ,as compared to the other brands? When I started this hobby Top Flight props made good epoxy sticks, and that was about all. I used to use Rev-up props and I liked the performance. I don't care for Zinger props for the smaller motors. The APC props work fine, but seem a bit on the heavy side. I've used Master Airscrew wood props before, but they don't make them in the sizes I'm wanting, which is 11/4 or there abouts. I'm looking for a prop to put on my HP.40 on a 3.5lb Diablotin Super.

My favorite prop for my La.46s is the powerpoint 11-4. I think the Hp .40 is about the same power, so this should be about right. I also like the master airscrew 10-6, but they really take a lot of work to balance.

I have Rev-up 10x4 copies if your interested. In a regular and a wide blade.(wide blade on top in photo) Got tired of getting by butt whooped by guys that had a stockpile of genuine rev-ups and wouldn't share so I had some made. Should spin pretty good on an HP. I plan to use one on my HP .40 on a Minus(roughly 3 lb plane).

on a plane like the Diablotin, you might wanna check out the APC 12.25x3.75. Those large diameter low pitch props are really good for fun flys.

Hey... I'd be interested in some of those rev-up copies.... Send me an email with more information.

The Rev-up 10x4 copies would be a little small I think. I used to use rev-up 10x5, and 11x4 on a 3lb 6oz stick type airplane with the HP.40 with good results. The APC 12.25x3.75 is to much prop for the HP.40. If I was using a larger engine for this airplane it would be ok. To switch to a larger engine would add at least 5oz to the aircraft weight. I don't want increase the weight any more than I have to. My target weight is 3.5lb it should be way over powered at this weight, as the 3lb6oz plane would go up like a rocket. Tom
