Last Sunday I received a nice present from a clubmember:
3 wooden topflite 13-5.5 props.
It does not say whether they are the M type or the Powerprop
type. They look like the M-type to me (paddle blade)

I was planning to use them on a Stalker 61 RE. Does anybody have
experience with this prop? Is it a good choice for F2B?

I am still looking for REV-UPs or BY&Os If somebody can sell me some....

Thanks!
Paul

Your 13-5.5's sound like the older TF in the eliptical shape, made of a soft wood (gum?). The "Power Prop" was a narrower "performance" (kaff!) prop of the day, made from the same wood. What you call "M-Type" was officially called "SuperM", made from maple, much harder and heavier. As far as I know, there were no "Power Props" made of maple. Your TF's should work pretty well for 10cc engines. BY&O props should be available at Brodaks, and Rev-Up props can be had from Finley's Hobby, both on Phil Brown's Master List of Links (to which you can link from here). Our host SSW also stocks BY&O's in some sizes, and Bolly's in glass and carbon. Click on "Home" and explore the website. Steve
