Just saw on a well-known R/C mail order site APC has announced a line of carbon props which the aforementioned shop says will be out in mid June.

So far the sizes listed are:

4.75-4.5
4.75-4.75
7.4-8.25
7.8-4
7.8-6
7.8-7

Sounds like they may be for 1/2 A - A racing-type events.

7.8-6s are good combat props for Nelsons.

You going to use carbon fiber props for combat? Hey, they could cost more than the plane.

When I was using McCollum props, I preferred the carbon ones to the glass ones. The carbon props would break and spare the crankshaft. I traded John a roll of yarn for some props, so the cost wasn't too awful. The standard APC 7.8-6s work almost as well as the high-zoot McCollums and provide some needed noseweight, so I switched.

I hope they can put the hole in the center!
