My Glasair has always had a wooden prop.  I am going to go ahead and get a metal prop, possibly a sensinich.  Will this reduce some vibration I hope, and are there any other pros and cons to having it.  My plane is fairly balanced now, so I assume I am going to have to relocate my battery somewhere in the luggage compartment behind the seats.  What should I expect to pay for a fixed pitch metal prop, and any advice on manufaturers would be appreciated as well.  I think on the Sensinich website they appeared to be around $2500.  I have been a little leary of that due to the 2600 rpm placard limit on it, and don't know if this is going to be an issue or not.  I don't run my rpm over that so unless I was in dive and wasn't paying attention (which I hope won't happen ;) )  I don't see it being an issue.  Any advice would be appreciated.  Thanks. I believe my current prop is a 68/66.  I think the smallest seinsenich has is a 70, which should not be a problem.  I have plenty of clearance.  I also assume that my current prop is a cruise prob because I can only static run it to about 2250-2300.  I take off from a 3000 ft field in the summer with a passenger and it isn't a problem.
