[NSRCA-discussion] E Prop Question

[Ron Van Putte]

I partially answered my own question.  I went back to the APC web  
site and discovered more of the E props near the bottom of the list  
of props.  What threw me off was that the props started out being  
listed by increasing diameter.  Then they just started adding props  
willy nilly at the end.  I still couldn't find any low pitch 15'' or  
16" props, although I will get a 16x8E prop to try.  Any suggestions  
would be appreciated.
