Battlefloyd Prop
It's probably the best prop for just speed. If you are using the Battle Floyd for combat, you might try using the 9X4. It won't get you as much speed, but should pull you faster thru and out of turns and maneuvers.
I like the Battle Floyd design. If I were trying to get a club interested in combat, this is the plane I would promote. It's inexpensive, quick building, reasonably tough, and flies very well even for a low time pilot.

Battlefloyd Prop
Thks Cajun,
Our club is small but we all use the same eng. We're always looking for an edge. I have noticed how we lose a lot of speed out of a turn.
Would a 7X8 add some speed? How much speed would I lose with the 9X4?

RE: Battlefloyd Prop
If you like the Battlefloyd; give the SPAD Derringer a try. It is made from
CORO and Canadian PVC. They are much tougher than the foam. I (we)
use the OS .15CVA and an APC 8x4 prop.
