 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
