Most people at flitefest thought it was the eflight, but noticed it flew more scale-like

It's like the Eflite, but cheaper and better!

Win win!

It’s ok man 👍

Hmm, that isn’t really a slow fly or sport prop actually. I have some of those as well (they are 8x5 though) and I’d say they are kinda a cross between the two.

Ok, pretty interesting!

Where do you get all your props from? Hobby King?

I got those off of value hobbies. Usually I buy APC props off of the ft store or at hobbytown USA.

If we’re on the topic of props, I gotta show off these APC 20x10’s

I got in the mail today.

Sweet!!! Are they gonna go on a monster stearman?

The massive props are for a really big FT plane that’s coming soon. If your going to flitefest you won’t miss it. The motor is the FT monster radial

Are APC props easy to break?

What does everyone thing about the master airscrew props? https://www.masterairscrew.com

 

[Jonny Gum]

Master air screw is a great brand. The design FT design that I am supersizing is not officially released yet, however, now that Flitefest is cancelled I may build a monster Stearman. It depends on whether or not I can get some cheapish 6 cell high mah batteries.

I trying to figure out if the master airscrew props will be brittle. It says on the website they are made of Glass Fiber Reinforced Composite(not the wooden props). That sound like they are going to be brittle. What do you think?

 

[Jonny Gum]

I haven't had any bad experience with master airscrew. When you get up to 9 and 10 inch props, they become more brittle just due to size. In some cases, the plane hits hard enough that the prop will break no matter what type of material they are, so it's up to you what you want.

Ok, thanks for your help!

I am definitely going to get some of the Master airscrew wooden props.

I guess I should just try a few different brands and see which ones I like best.

I finally finished the main skin for the fuselage. Just a few small pieces left! I also need to finish the details of the landing gear and electronics placement, but it is getting closer to completion.
