FAC is one piece molded plastic so Ikara props are not legal. The Peck
props can be scrapped down to ~ 2 grams pretty easily.

I am thinking about an Ikara prop, but I'm not sure if it fits the "molded plastic prop" rule for Dime Scale. I've used Peck props for 20+ years, but now that I'm learning how to build light models thanks to you fine folks, my prop weighs darn near as much as the airframe!! I tried scraping the prop down but the model is still going to need a glob of clay on the tail. Maybe it's time to figure out how to carve a balsa prop.
