Props
Hi everybody
In the US it seems that APC is the most common used prop.
Or am i wrong?
Here in Sweden we have left APC for others that we think are faster, for example RadioActive and Graupner Pro Cam.
Have you try-ed this or other manufactures of props?
In all threads no one speaks on what kind of prop only the dimensions. 2 different manufactures of props with same dimension have never the same performance.
What are yours experience?
Sorry for broken English...

Per:
AMA (U.S.) 428 rules only allow unmodified wood props with a min dia of 8.5" or APC racing props (D-1 hub) of 8.75" min dia. These props work pretty well as the current U.S. record is 1:03.9? on our long course which is about the same length as the F3D course but configured a little differently. We also race APRA, like 424, out here and the only prop permitted is APC 9x6.

On the contrary we appreciate constructive comments from everyone. We are always experimenting with new combinations and your input on props is appreciated. If you have any questions on Nelson or Jett setup this or the NMPRA forum is the place to go. I would be very interested in the types of airframes, airfoils and so on you are using.
