Which Prop for my 503?

In WUO, the trike I fly (and bundubash) with near Aurora I have a NC Prop, which I have mended with Tippex and the like whenever the craters got too big. After this morning's flip, I discovered that the trailing edge has split open, and if I squeeze the prop it gives a nice crepitus (you will need to look this up).

So the short and the long if it is I want a new prop, for my upside down 503 - which prop?

The NC seems to brittle for the Sandveld's klippies.
I have a Warp on my other trike, also takes some hammering.
A De Necker Prop? Had one of those on my other trike but it got uhm damaged. Liked it.
Can a Warp be fitted with those metal strips?

Please help.

Niks fout met 'n De Nekker prop nie, word deesdae met 'n taamlike fancy masjien presies gesny en jy kan metaal leading edges laat opsit. Persoonlik dink ek dit kan taamlik hammering vat en maklik herstel word (vra maar vir Boet).
Op 'n trike kan jy dalk ook kyk na 'n driehoek (skadu)-net onder die trike soos op 'n ander plek op die forum genoem word wat die meeste klippe sal keer.
Ek het al twee De nekker props gehad en was meer as tevrede , veral met die nasorg diens lokaal beskikbaar.

Hi, op ons trike het ek ook 'n de Necker prop op, ook met die metaal plaatjies oor die leading edges, sommer 'n heel oraait prop!

Gert,

My Warp has steel leading edges. Look at their website and they show them as an option. I know Peter De Necker also adds them as an after market extra to the warp blades.

I like Warp, they are very resilient

Gert, gaan vir oom Piet se prop. Hy weet wat hy doen, en vir sy prys en kwaliteit wat jy kry gaan jy lank soek. Oom het deesdae n fensie matjien wat sy props sny, en tannie Bets plak die hout, maar sy balanseer al voor Oom begin om te sny. Kwaliteit is wereld klas of beter. P-Props rock!!!!
