Just for whatever it's worth - I prefer wood props (Zinger mostly) and
I use them whenever I'm flying a bird that won't go over on its nose -
I use APC otherwise - I have used Master Airscrew props for my large
4-cycles, largely because they're cheaper than the big APC or wood
props - they do OK but they do tend to flex under high RPM, making me
suspicious about their efficiency and safety. TTYL - Roger
