Mike Hazel is now making carbon and fiberglass versions of the "first version" APC 7.8 x 6 prop. I have used the APC's on Quickie Rat, 36 AMA slow rat, and Super Slow Rat with good results. Unfortunately, these composite versions are illegal for Super Slow Rat, but they are still worth a try for other events.
Contact Mike at zzclspeed@aol.com, and ask for the "Scimitar 7.8 x 6". $15.00 each for glass, $16.00 each for carbon.

How was the contest this weekend?

You know, with composite props so widely available, one would think those plastic prop rules would eventually go away. In fairness those rules were made way back when prop molding was a black art. In my experience racing LA25 in Brodak Foxberg, I saw signs of stress in critical areas with my gray plastic apc 7.8-6 after one day of racing. Had to retire the prop and they don't make them anymore. Glad to see Mike is making them.
