Greg, check with Jim at jim@whirlwindpropellers.com   his props like nice and he has on one his Wittman Tailwind which is really impressive, performance wise.  I believe they are about have the price of the MT, prop, governor and all.  JohnD

I have decided to go with fixed pitch on my Legacy 20B FG.  The numbers I am getting back, based on turbocharging, are nothing short of verrrrry goood.....(:-)  If I don't like it, I can always hang a $16,000.00 MT vs. the $3000 composite.

Mark,
When you made your prop choice, was hydraulic even an option with the 20-B setup? If it was why did you choose the electric? I keep looking at the Vesta, the veriProp, the whirlwind, and MT. Part of what I'm looking for is the WWII look also. Otherwise I would probably go with the Ivo Prop. Any feed back on these props by anyone would be appreciated.
