Found this prop on Hobby King's site when searching for "wood".. (balsa ultimately) but had to wonder whether it would be ok to run on an IC engine? One review stated that; for their app.. the hub had to be drilled to 6mm. I like the look of the rounded-tips.. Old-Timey!

roddie: maybe the shipping weight was 50gram? yes, the data at the bottom next to price is the shipping weight, in a box, with padding and lead weighted air. lol!

no weight for propeller shown, next to size.

Quake ; Balancing was a bit off on mine but I like this one anyway. Looks great! Weight ist 12g, just like a plastic APC style.

This was a statement from one of the reviews , I don't see why you couldn't run it on IC engines its just wood ??
