I for one don't know about Master Airscrew props since I don't use them.  I 
too have seen a lot of guys using them.  But the point I want to make here 
is don't think a product is great just because Tower or some other big 
outfit sells it.  They are in the business to make money and nothing else so
they will sell anything the customer will buy.  Not to suggest they purposly
put junk out there but this is one place where the buyer must beware.  
Product quality is one of the reasons I still prefer my local hobby shop.  I
can inspect before I buy.  Sure it may cost me a bit more but I get the 
quality I demand with no returns, no hassle, and no sales pitch.  That is 
also one of the reasons I build from plans.  I hand pick every piece of wood
that goes into everyone of my planes and the only way I can do that is at 
the local hobby shop.
