I picked up a few props I have never saw before. The brand is Woodcraft, the series is "super stunt" Has anyone seen these before?

I believe that the propeller is made in New Zealand.

But you never can be sure.

I think it resembles the FG paddle blade design that George A. was promoting.

Unfortunatly this one only lasted 2 1/2 flights. I hope the one I put on my Tutor II lasts a little longer.

I've got one of those!  Bought it in 1970 at Arnold Stott's Foam Flite hobby shop in Mankato, Minnesota.  Tried it once on a McCoy 40 Red Head -- didn't turn it very well -- went back to a TF 10-6 wide blade.

I got 3 props, one 10-6 and two 11-5. The 10-6 no longer exists. The EVO 36 C/L ran great with the 10-6.

Joe Gilbert and I tested a Woodcraft 10-6 on a good Fox .35. It is an Excellent prop.

De,
I hope you and Joe are going to document the results and publish an article in CLW.
Exactly how many props did you test?

Speaking of "rare" props, has anyone else heard of one called "Thrustee"?  A wide blade prop of about 1950.  Their weakness was that they were too thin near the hub.  I've seen them snap just while trying to hand start!
