| I recently went through the same question/quandry with a DA100 powered bird.
I was flying a 27-10 PT carbon prop. Unfortunately, pullout was sluggish and spool up was very poor. It spooled up more like a turbine than a Gasser. I talked with some experts, and they suggested going to a Menz wood prop. I also dropped an inch in diameter.
With the new wooden Menz 26-10, throttle response is very impressive, and I have much stronger pullout from a hover. The throttle response is strong enough now that I can 'blip' the airplane around while in high alpha. With the heavier carbon prop, I could not.....
All that being said, for IMAC type flying, the 27-10 is not nearly as loud as the 26-10 while at higher throttle settings, and pulls strongly through 'big' maneuvers.
I built my bird primarily for 3D freestyle stuff, so the wooden Menz will stay on for the time being.....
From my limited experience, I'd suggest staying with the woody. | |

Sorry but your post makes no comparison for CF to Wood.
If you started with a 27-10 CF you CANNOT compare the spool up and speed to a 26x10 wood.
A 26x10 is going to be faster whether wood or not compared to a 27x10. I suggest trying a 27x10 3W wood prop or menz to really see the difference.
