    F550 AP ship, progress so far.

    good 12 inch prop recommendation?

    So I've extended the arms on my F550 and got some Avroto motors. I started using 11x4.7 Slow Fly props and I really like them, way better then the 10x4.5's I had before. But I can't seem to find any 12x4.7 slow fly's.. Any recommendations on a good prop to use that is reasonably priced?
