Angier,

The MT prop is a good choice for the Lancair - I've changed to the electric
two blader on my 235 and find it to be very smooth. Following some initial
problems, which MT, Germany (before they had a Florida presence) made right
with minimum delay, it has performed perfectly.

As far as length, get the longest prop you can afford considering minimum
ground clearance. Remember the old saw: "Keep you prop as long as possible
as long as possible". The extra couple of inches will result in higher prop
efficiency.

The MT will likely be lighter than an equivalent metal prop, and on an
airplane, lighter is almost always better. Burt Rutan once was heard to say
"If you're trying to figure out if something is too heavy to put on your
airplane, throw it up in the air and if it comes down, it's too heavy"!
