Default CF Prop
Hi Dave....

What are the merits/demerits of running a 16x6 carbon fiber prop on a 110 mounted in a Funtana90?

Thanks.

Albert

The only thing I can think of is that the carbon prop might be heavier than an APC, which is heavy already.

On the contrary, the CF prop is lighter, and the general consensus is that this equates to quicker spool up time.

Any thoughts?

If it is lighter, no complaints here.
