The first one I saw was screwed to a table. At least I thought it was when I tried to pick it up, they seem to be rather solid, robust, portly or just plain heavy. Might be really good for gyroscopic maneuvers.

Got the 30x13 love mine weighs about the same as standard mezjlics. The evo is lighter but mine is nice and quiet works perfect plus they have lots of new sizes now better buy them up before they change the price.

just flew my extra 300 78" with that prop today. it was cf 18 x 8 prop.
came well balanced, and from looking at it, the manufacturing looks good.

Heard a tale over the weekend of a 32x12 delaming, and seen the prop in person.................... The backside of 1 blade was thrown from the prop. Prop had only about 3 flights on it, from my understanding. Pretty much buggered up the guys airplane, and he ain't too happy about it. Saving $40 on a prop, not worth it, in that size.

I really wish I would have taken a pic of it.

Got about 10 flights on a Hover 30x12
I've used it at two IMAC contests when my 3 blade Beila was too much prop for the altitude and air temps.

Its been rock solid.

I will say this.
ITS LOUD

I have a DA-170 on MTW TD-115k cans that spins the crap out of this prop.
Its soo loud at WOT, it rivals a 6s stryker or funjet for noise

yeah...lesson learned. I didn't want the 13 pitch due to the extra speed, but it needs to be 13 to reduce rpms..
Oh well, 30x13 when it comes back in stock.

I have been using one for at least 50 flights

I have been using one for at least 50 flights . 27X10. No Problems. Do not have a comparison . My DA-100 older model pulls about 6100 to 6300 average on it . Have noticed other brand name carbon props delaminate. It is a little heavier than some others. Purchased from Valley View RC. Always good service

my props showed up. Weather permitting I'll be able to try them tomorrow. Why can't it rain during the week days when I'm living in a cube farm?

upon first look they are more stiff than my xoar laminate 20x6 which rips bad so hopefully they will have less rip
