The worst Props...Dun Dun Duuuuuuuun!

[Legot]

okay, so maybe this is a topic made for pure opinion, bur what props do you guys think are the absolute worst? Like in strength, flexibility, breakability, etc...

For me, the worst are the APC's Every single time I fly with them, they end up snapping, both blades mind you, even on a zero prop spin landing! (I have the brake on in my motor) Once, I was verry near to a plane which was going at a fair speed, the prop snapped and nearly killed me! It was rated for 20,000 RPM I beleive, but it was only going 16,000 MAX

In my opinion, Master Airscrews are the best, no flexing, no breakage (lately)

Having the brake set to on is whats causing your high amount of breakages. ''Brake on'' should be used on folding props.

If you nose over on landing, a free wheeling prop will get pushed to one side, hopefully.

Got half an APC left? Try to break it by hand. That's the kind of force your landings are putting into the power plant. Those shocks have to go somewhere.
