After a little more thought it came to me. Joshua, you are a big boy now, indeed a married man, and it is time to put aside your childish ambitions to have the lightest model aeroplane on the planet and make a propeller that is strong enough. I was tempted to say that's easy, you only have E and cross section to worry about but I suppose the load distribution is a bit of a head scratcher.

John, our props are hopelessly overweight. I cannot afford a 350 mg prop on an F1D.

Your remark on the possibility of a trailing edge effect device is so far the only piece of advice I've seen that represents something down the right track.

All of these models are built to typical F1D weights and fly a conventional or forward of conventional CG. I'll add that they are flying bricks in my opinion...and in the opinions of fellow fliers.
