During today's flight session, I tested the 6x4 APC electric knockoff from Hobby King https://hobbyking.com/en_us/apc-style-propeller-6x4-grey-ccw-2pcs.html, this 6x4 APC gas prop and the Master Airscrew 6x4x3 prop https://www.masterairscrew.com/collections/3-blade/products/3-blade-6x4-propeller
Here are the bench test numbers that I mentioned in the video in more detail, all tested with ESC timing set to low.
6x4 APC electric (knock off from Hobby King)
50% throttle - 11.5A/140.3W producing 448 gr/15.8 oz of thrust;
100% throttle - 23.6A/278.5W producing 775 gr/27.3 oz of thrust.
6x4 APC gas prop
50% throttle - 11.8A/144.9W producing 500 gr/17.6 oz of thrust;
100% throttle - 23.8A/280.1W producing 848 gr/29.9 oz of thrust.
Master Airscrew 6x4x3 prop
50% throttle - 13A/154.2W producing 470 gr/16.6 oz of thrust;
100% throttle - 26.9A/307.8W producing 884 gr/31.2 oz of thrust.
Mid range throttle was a bit better with the 6x4 APC gas than the other two props as was hole shot acceleration when I hammered the throttle. A slight edge in top end speed to the Master Airscrew 6x4x3 prop, the 6x4 APC gas was definitely the quieter of the three.
