Scott,
I have been following the ultralight press for several years and the one prop that seems to stand out is the Powerfin.  Note that 'Bates' designed some of their props, so this would be about the closest that you will get to having a 'name' brand in this speed range.  I will definitely be putting one of these on my miniMax when I get it finished due to the 'Bates' connection.  Paul, you posted prop programs from both Roncz and Bates last year, do you still have them available?

I agree the Powerfin blade is a much better design than the WarpDrive
blade. I don't think I have Bates program.

Here is a whole bunch of prop programs. Some of them require DOS  Quick Basic to run
and MS Excel.

If you find a good BASIC program that you like I will compile it for you.
