I'd be very interested to see the results of this experiment. My reasoning
was that, based on greg Richter's experience with a turbo 13B, I'll get of
the ground pretty quickly even with a rowing boat paddle. Climb rate wont be
too shabby either. If top speed is better with a wood prop, then what are
you looking to improve? Efficiency at cruise?
