I have been using Xoar props, PJA 9 to 11 inch and PJG 7 and 8 inch, and satisfied with them. PJG 9 inch has too thick blades.
There are some other brands that MAY be manufactured by the same company, but Xoar brand is the best with respect to the QC.

Several have reported the wood 12-4 to work well on the OS .46LA-S. I haven't, but would, if I was flying a .46LA.

RSM props are made by Xoar for Eric Rule. The "10-6" is really about 10-5.5, and is considered a #1 choice for Fox .35 Stunts.
Some have reported that the 11-6 is real good on a .46LA. I think the 12-5.5 might be good on a ST G.51. Eric told me at a VSC that his props were a statistical average of the old TF paddle blade and the Rev-Up. Not sure if it was the "W" or "EW" Rev-Up, however.   H^^ Steve

I have been using the Xoar 13x6 repitched to 13x6.5 on my Saito .56 powered Score..  It's my favorite prop on that set up, and I've tried MAS and a few Eather 2 & 3-blades on it.

I have been using Xoar props for over a year now.  They are all (that I use) the PJA series.  I have used 13x6 and 13x5 on Evo 60's and 11x5 and 12x4 on LA46's. 

I like the props a lot.  They look great and they are balanced right out of the package.  The engines run great with them and they seem to be fairly consistent prop to prop.

Give them a try, I think you will be pleased witht he performance.

As why I didn't mention which Xoar I used in the original post.  I have used PJA as well.  Either way.. the quality are outstanding on these props.

I have ben using these for over a year now and have bought at least 10 and only one was not pretty close to perfect balance (both hub and blade) and within at least a 1/4" of stated pitch. I use the PJA series. I like to use High RPM/low pitch set up..11-4   12-4 etc...great props and take to re-working well. A 12-4 on a LA46 at aobut 9,800- 10,000 RPM is pretty darn good. The only prop I found that worked better on my set up was a Brian Eather 11.5 x 5.5 repitched to 4.25..and it was better but not by much...but enough ;)

I have been using a 14 x 6 Xoar prop on my Discovery Retro 76
and am really satisfied with the results. High quality, well made
props. I've also got one of the Xoar electric series props; 10 x 5,
on my electric Gieseke Nobler. Performs very well.
