RE: Prop weights?
no i haven't its not that big of a deal to me.
i don't use wooden props, its difficult to keep them tight they brake easy, and dont produce the thrust that an APC prop does. When a student comes to me for the first time with a wood prop we'll fly it but i recommend right off the bat to get an APC or at least a plastic Master Airscrew

RE: Prop weights?
Yes I have. On large scale planes prop weight can be significant. Wood props are generally lighter than APC and MAS props. I usually balance my plane with the propeller I intend on using, for example, an APC composite prop for sport/aerobatic flying.
Hope this helps answer your qusestion.

Has anyone ever compared the weight difference between APC props vs wood props?
