    GR 40x57/3 Graupner Equivalent

    I really like the price of the carbon props in the OSE store. I'm really hoping to upgrade to the 40x57/3 from AQ/GR but was hoping to find an equivalent in a 3 blade carbon prop. I see some that are 40mm, but they are 2 blade. The 3 blades go from 39 and then jump to 42 mm. Any suggestions?

    The GR 40x57/3 is a lifter prop, correct nomenclature is: L40x57/3 , I don't think any of the carbon 3 blade props are lifter ones.
    If, on the other hand, what you meant is the GR 40x52/3, then I find the closest "plastic" prop to this one is this:http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXMWB2&P=Z, in fact, I have used this to test on hydros that came with unknown cables which might lose me a good metal prop.
    But as you can see, this prop is not cheap considering the fact that it is not metal.

      Forgot about the lifting designation. I was actually looking for a L40x57/3. Is there a particular one of those carbon props that would give similar performance to the L40x57/3?
