This is not quite true.... the AC literature shows and states under "Blade 
Construction" that: "The ACI "All-Composite" [is a] carbon and fiberglass 
hybrid in tough epoxy resin matrix over a pre-cured molded foam core."

The rest is true.... they're amazing propellers.  For the weight conscious 
they claim the lowest weight per blade when compared to an equivalent blade 
length from any manufacturer.  A given blade of theirs weighs 7 pounds, vs 
14 for an AL equivalent, 8.4 for a Hartzell kevlar, or 9.5 for an MT 
woodcore.  Don't miss them at S'n'F.
