Prince P-Tip Props
I saw a guy running one of these on a DA-100 last year at a fly in. He said the tips funneled air over the tail surfaces for better 3D control. I did some reasearch and found out that is a pack of lies. 
Instead I found out the tips are supposed to minimize the amount of disturbed air from the previous prop blade, making the prop more efficient. I priced them and they sure aren't cheap, but do they work? Anyone running them?

RE: Prince P-Tip Props
They work very well, but if you rip them enough the tips will start to delaminate and crack. They look cool and make lots of noise, but for a DA 100 its hard to beat a Vess 27A/B for 3D. The P-tips are good for 3D, but that's it, not good for large over the top imac type maneuvers.
