I'm the kind of guy who sticks with what works. It doesn't make me the best reviewer, though. So I'm testing out a few new props that people have been telling me are GREAT.

The DAL T5051C is an ultra-light and thin 3-blade prop. Light props tend to fly smoothly, but can it make enough thrust? And I've also heard reports of it deflecting at high rpms.

The DAL T5040C has been hailed as a contender for replacing the venerable HQ5x4x3. Can the DAL emulate the HQ's near-perfect blend of smoothness, responsiveness, and thrust?

How does the Gemfan T5042 stack up against my current favorite prop, the DAL Cyclone T5045C? It's thinner and lighter, but still fairly wide-profile. Can it match the Cyclone's legendary durability?
