Subject: Constant Speed Prop for IO-360

I am at the interesting but expensive stage of buying a prop for the IO-360
engine in my 360.  I would be interested in hearing views as to the optimum
prop.  I have seen and flown in 360s with the standard Hartzell 2 blade 68"
metal prop, and know of the MT 3 blade composite.  I have heard rumors that
Hartzell is also developing a 3 blade composite unit.  Much as I might
admire the Aerocomposites prop, it is outside my budget, and I know that the
Whirlwind 151 props have a poor in-service history.

I would like to get some inputs as to which props people are using and what
their opinions are.  I would be particularly keen to hear from anyone with
comparative experience, ideally with data.  Apart from the usual
requirements of cruise efficiency, especially at higher altitudes, I also
will eventually be operating off a relatively short strip, so take off
performance is a significant factor.

I would appreciate any and all inputs.  Thanks.

Jerry Fisher
