      If ABC prop's pull more of a power draw than Octura do you also see more MPH? I know it is hard to say as the same diameter and pitch can be the same but blade area and shape can be quite different. I am just wondering.

        Yes on all accounts. The ABC cleavers have more surface area and a different shape than the Octura X Series. I am also told they are more effecient (which equates to less slip and more load on the motor) Does that make them better? Nope, just different. Just keep in mind that even though the numbers are close between a X640 and the ABC1614, there is a noticable difference in thier performance and handling characteristics. BTW-I am no prop expert. After four years, I'm just starting to understand this stuff. LOL
