Greetings all,

Does anyone remember the message I sent a week or so ago, when I said I
didn't want a wood prop?  Well, forget that :-)

After some further thought, and research, I've realized that it isn't likely
that I'll get the kind of performance that I want from my Warp Drive prop.
I can't help but notice that typical RV-3's, with far less power than I've
got, are getting great performance with wooden props.  At Tracy's
recommendation, I called Performance Props, and had a long talk with them
about my needs.  They were quite confident that they could get me the
performance I want, so much so, that I signed up for a prop.

Unfortunately, I'm not scheduled to get a prop until around mid July, but
that will give me time to clean up the airframe, and maybe even play with a
3rd intake.  Performance Props makes the prop initially a little large at
first, then you tell them how it works, and send it back for a final
adjustment, and finish.  I guess that means I need to get the engine and
airframe finalized before testing the prop.

Cheers,
Rusty (got wood... oops, sorry)
