I am building a large fun fly type electric. I need a 17x6 or 18x5 or 18x6 prop. Does anyone make electric(i.e. lightweight) versions of these props? Thanks

I've never weighed them but my recollection is that the large wooden props
from Master Airscrew were considerable lighter than the nylon versions. They
made an 18X6.
However, I think most people are finding a high gear ratio and higher pitch
prop provides better vertical. Larger funfly designs use 18X10 APCE. Gary
White's 48" E3D uses 12X8 to 14X12 props.
