Jim,

It would be best if you used a regular prop ream. They come in stepped intervals for reaming a prop to the correct size. It is difficult to accurately drill a prop because the drill will tend to "walk" off center. It can be done (I've done it) but reaming the hole would be better.

Jim,
I've used APC electric props, and I think they are larger than the gobrushless prop shaft (but need to look). You need to use the little plastic prop adapters ACP provides with the electric props. The "precision"  hole is the back hole, whereas the through hole is not always centered. I always ream out the through hole so that if it is offset, it doesn't interfere with the centering provided by the adapter.
