Bill,

In my experience with 235s both with and without CS props I have found a
tremendous advantage with the CS. I would agree with everything that Dan has
already said about take offs and add the following: Because the 235 flaps
are less effective than the 320/360 flaps and the pitch on a fixed prop can
not be set to a flater pitch on finalfor more drag, it is difficult to
control the approach speed on landings without using a shallow approach.
Once on the ground, the prop pitch [optimized for speed] continues to pull
the airplane and causes the brakes and tires much more stress.

A steeper[safer] approach and shorter stopping distances are possible with a
CS prop.
