Gary makes the comment regarding getting the right pitch. I have little experience with anything other than a Max-Prop but I can't advocate strongly enough for the versatility of being able to adjust the pitch. It blows my mind that selecting a prop based on calculations works for so many people. The adjustability of the Max-Prop adds to the resale value too. I've not been disappointed with the engineering or customer support either.
