Large Prop Suppliers? (like 24x22)
I'm sorta new to RC. I'm wondering where to get larger props, like 22x24 and similar sizes.
The only places I found were Zinger custom laminated ones ($75) and APC component prop (in 24x22, $38 + $60 hub). I'm leaning toward the APC because of being able to replace blades if they get smacked up, much cheaper than $75 a pop for a zinger. But then I'm not paying for the prop. If there are some nice light carbon fiber ones out there, I'd definitely consider them. They must be "commercially available props", not ones made out of somebody's garage.
Any suggestions?
This is for an AIAA DBF competition plane if that interests anyone.
Thanks!

I believe Bolly makes a prop in that general diameter at that high pitch.

Thanks for the link!
desert aircraft had a 24x24 and a 22x20 and cactus aviation had a 24x24 and a 22x22 listed, cactus was a bit cheaper. I'm going to inquire as to determine the existence of a 24x22

Hmmm, found the bolly prop website finally. Looks like Cactus Aviation misprinted, bolly doesn't make a 22x22, only the 22x20. I shot them an e-mail but no one responded, that was a week ago. Very dissapointing considering their website says "We personally answer all our emails within 24 hours."
