Hi guys, I was just wondering in prop sizes, what would the difference be between for example a 10x7 and a 10x7E?

Thanks

The E means that the prop is for electric motors only.  The reason is that electric props are thinner and lighter than gas ones.  Gas motors generally turn faster and produce more vibration and therefore a stronger prop is required. You can use a gas prop with an electric motor,  but the reverse is not true.
Takeoffs are optional. Landings are mandatory.
