I have a couple of these but have never tried them yet. I hear they are good. But boy at that price I'd really be mad at myself for breaking one! We need to start making these and selling them,  we would be rich!

They work great on 60 ignition engines for stunt, but they are not that great. I prefer 12-8 props on Super Cyclone engines. But 13-6 Rev-up props work great on the more powerful ones, like Orwicks, Atwood Super Champions, and Anderson Spitfires.

Timber Props you want to look for even matched grain along the prop , symetrical even . theres a lot of horrors out there .

Some are nice hard ( weighty ? ) Heart Timber . Some old Top flites are ' punk ' soft sap wood where you wonder if theyll
fling a blade , and crush when tightened . Some Zingers the grain is absolutely skew whiff .Like some balsa these days . >:(

#liner,
These are priced in the ridiculous range but they are great for ST V60's. I use them still. I also use a Bolly 13x6 fiberglass prop and a Rev Up 14x6 cut down to 13 for the windy days but the Rev Up 13x6 is reliable and not punk, knotty or a horror. They were a fine prop and infinitely usable. I'm not sure I got all of that down under terminology from one of the posters but they are good props if what was typed meant the opposite.
Chris...

At that price, I have at least a 1K worth of them. As Chris said they are great for V.60 and they are all I use for them.

Chris I agree with the comments as to Rev up 13x6 props for the ST60. I have some and they actually pitch out to 13 x5.....They do work great!
