I have a wood prop on my Glassair-1 and I'm quite happy with it. It's optimized for cruise, but the takeoff and climbout are good (it's not rocket), and of course I saved some weight and a big chunk of money. Any fixed pitch 360 drivers listening? BTW, a properly designed fixed pitch prop should be as efficient if not more, at the operating conditions it is designed for. regards Rich Kindig >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> LML website: http://members.olsusa.com/mkaye/maillist.html LML Builders' Bookstore: http://www.buildersbooks.com/lancair Please remember that purchases from the Builders' Bookstore assist with the management of the LML.
