Yes, the Campbell is a fixed-blade design. The blades are slimmer and
somewhat "cupped" This is supposed to increase thrust at lower RPM and also
limit prop walk. These things aren't cheap...going for $400-$500, so I
thought I'd see if anyone had either used one or had some first-hand
knowledge of the product.
