Carbon Fibre vs Wood Props

[Scott B]

Hi guys.
Just wondering if I can get some feedback on the pros and cons of Carbon Fibre vs Wood props? I am looking using 14x5 props, don't know which way to go.
Opinions welcome

I'd go with wood as they are more likely to be balanced, usually cheaper, and almost as stiff. Availability is the biggest problem with them.

Hi wood are nice but carbon are strong for there weight large wooden props carry more mass when spinning can help the motor pick up speed but then is harder for the motor to slow down , Carbon Fibre every time

If you get the lighter electric wood props it is not that much of a problem, but with most wood props it would hamper your stabilization.
