hi everyone, cannot believe ive had so many posts on such a trivial question i will take onboard all the issues brought up, although i must say it is an AS level project and a bit easier than the ideas that you have contributed, a lot of pressure on getting an A now, hehe. will let you know how i get on, im also going to talk about Youngs Modulus data for those who are aware of it, dislocations in the microscopic structure of metal/wood,as well as cost which in the commercial world is one of the important aspects. Thanks everyone for your input, your welcome to carry the thread on, might get over 10 pages of posts yet :P Ryan.

thanks people for your replies, i am going to be talking about both the pros and cons for a metal propeller for full-scale and model aircraft. i know richard bond hinted at full-scale aircraft using wood props over metal, and i few websites say this is because of cost, weight, less vibration etc. Do you have any other ideas of why they do so?

hi, i am doing an Alevel presentation about aluminium and why it is preferred over wood for full scale aircraft. but as an rc flyer, i was also going to turn the idea around and explain why we use wood over metal for modelling. could i have a couple of ideas of why we do so (safety, lower rpm because more load etc) and if any of you are full scale pilots, why you do not use wood but an aluminium alloy for your props. thanks, Ryan.
