awhile ago i bough a few random 10x8 props to see what would be a good alternative to the stock prop. i got a apc sf, master airscrew e, and a eflite e. well to day i threw the eflite on because my stock prop had seen better days. i was quite happy with it, about the stock performance. these props are stiffer and don't seem to be damage as easily, but if you hit the ground after the battery connectors fail you it will still break lol. so i threw on the master air screw e 10x8, i did need to use the provided spacer to fit the shaft. i really like this prop, its very ridged and seems to provide a bit more power wide open. now i cant prove that but it seems like when wide open it was moving faster and had a little more thrust. i would imagine if there was really any gain it was because they are stronger. even after a not so perfect landing due to a wheel that decided to jump off on me the prop was fine, not a scratch. looks like these are a pretty good alternative to the stock props, along with the eflite's, and at $2.39 they are still cheaper. now on to the wood prop just for fun.
sorry for the long post, just fyi for anyone interested.

I run a Gunther GB (1200kV) motor (Motor from Dymond) and the prop sizes that I use are 9x6 and have ran a 10x6 with no problems to the motor.
