 |  Carbon or Wood Props Hi all just wondering what your opinions are on which type of prop you prefer or does it depend on what type of flying you are doing. And on a 50cc IMAC plane would you go 2-blade or 3-blade, My flying site is kind of noise sensitive. |

Do you have a canister setup. Carbon will be quieter than wood. Three blade carbon will be even quieter at the exspense of engine performance.

Carbon 3 blade definately, unless you hit the ground. Last carbon I had struck in slow, level inverted flight. Bent the hell outta my crankshaft. Wish i had wood at the time but they are a little louder unless you go up an inch.

Carbon all the way. With 50cc range, there is basically no 3 blade compatible. 2 blade will do just fine.
