Propellers you can start from

79 propellers with chord and twist digitized by the UIUC Propeller Data Site, Volume 1, plus two UIUC research designs and three Wageningen B-series outlines. The wind-tunnel props are 9–19 inches. That is the model and small-UAV range those tests cover. A 5-inch freestyle prop is not in the set. For that, open the studio and design from the motor, battery and weight.

On each measured page, the tables are the wind-tunnel files. In the studio, the performance curve is PropShaper's blade-element model of the loaded geometry. The two stay labeled. APC's own performance files are not republished here.
