Steve,
I usually use and APC prop on my electric.  Presently using a 13 inch on my new Crossfire.  I got hold of both an 11 and 12 inch Xoar three blades and tried the 11 as it was all  that would fit in my  spinner.  The 12 inch had a much wider hub so wouldn't fit in the 1.75" spinner. I tried the 11 but felt I needed more diameter.  I ended up making a 12" from a couple of 2B Xoars I had with 5" pitch.  The hub on mine would fit the Precision Aero spinner I use.  The prop was quieter than the APC but lacked authority in the vertical and overhead parts of the pattern.  I've got a few Xoar 12 X 6 pitch props on order and will make another 3B sometime this summer.  For now I'll stick with the APC or try a modified Eather 3B if I want to expend the effort.

Alan are the props all tractor's?  I was going to try some 3 bld's also but all mine are tractor's. I have Bill Lee
12x6 and Majic 11x5.5's I think that is what Paul is using but work over.

Larry,
As far as I know all Xoar wood props are tractors.  The only pushers I've seen are some carbon 12 X 5 props that are sold in pairs of one tractor and one pusher for RC helicopters.  Last year Percy Attfield was here in Vancouver and was using one of the pushers.
