I have no idea what you guys are talking about. Plastic props are required
in FAC Dime Scale?

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

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.
