Hey guys I was wanting some advice on what size prop to run on my redwingrc 30cc extra. I have a dle 35cc mounted on it. I currently have been running a redwingrc 20x8 and 19x8 wooden prop. would going with a carbon fiber make a big difference or a different size. This is my first gas plane so I still have a lot to learn. So anyone willing to give some advice I would appreciate it.

I'm running a Vess 20A on my DLE35RA I don't remember the tach numbers, transition is ok. Happy with the result over the 20B which was just too much prop. I haven't run a carbon prop, the rock strip on my field could be devastating to a carbon prop so I'm weary of trying one.
It seems that the carbon props can spool up faster and get a little higher rpm, but they are known to be a bit noisy I believe. But that is just what I hear through the grapevine.

Love the sound of a prop bashing air molecules into submission.

You want a prop that has a smooth transition that doesn't load up the engine. I personally think that a 20 wont spool up faster than a 19, or have the rpms that a 19 has. . . however, the 20 should produce a little more thrust at lower rpms. bla bla bla
Sounds like you want a carbon prop. People like the 19X8 carbon props for the DLE35RA. Heard great things about the Falcon 19X8 on the DLE35RA. I'd say give it a whirl.
