Re: [FlyRotary] Warp Drive response...
  I have 1300 hrs flying on a Warp drive on my coot and it works great as it produces good static thrust but I hear that they don't work as well on high speed planes.
 Also I have had a prop hub plate crack, the plate that mounts to redrive is made from 3/8 inch plate where the other plate is 1/4 inch, this may work fine on a tractor as its under a compression load but on a pusher its under a tension load and I think that both should be 3/8 inch.
  Warp drive never made me the 3/8 inch plate so I ended up making my own, if y6u order a prop for a pusher I would demand that both plates are made from 3/8 inch plate.

The warp drive people seem to indicate that their prop is capable of handling the HP of a turbo 13B (250 hp/220 mph).. For the price that is quite amazing.. Any comments, practical experience, wilda$$ guesses?
