I haven't e-mailed thudertiger4u but I sure have used their web site and ordered things on-line, including cyclone props.  Never a problem and quick responses.

I can tell you that the 11x4.5 Cyclone works very well on Brodak .40's, Magnum .36's, and I've seen Randy Powell using it on his .40VF/tuna pipe. I would also expect that size to work well on .40LA's and maybe .35/.40FP's. Very nice props, well balanced, pleasent appearance (I've not figured out why guys complain about the looks of a prop that works, when it's running 10,000 rpm), and relatively easy to fit into a spinner. I'm not sure how tough they are, as I've not broken one or seen one broken. But I did buy a dozen of the 11x4.5's, plus a few other sizes that are stunt appropriate.  ;D Steve

These are in my opinion the best prop for the money . They may not be the ultimate for a top notch contest ship but I've used too many of them to say that I've ever been disappointed with them. Did I mention that they are CHEAP to buy, balance is generally right on , my engines seem to be quieter with them? and they are just heavy enough to provide some flywheel effect to most engines. I've never tried to twist them and doubt that it can be sone, don't hold me to that though. they will break and reasonably easily on asphalt.
