Kelly,

I have a 3 high performance blades Warp Drive prop, 72" dia on my Lycoming O-320 E2D 150 HP. Works great, good performance and is a solid performer in my case.

You want one blade per 50HP or fraction there of. Nice to adjust and maintain.

Subject: [FlyRotary] Warp Drive Prop

Group,

A little off subject but is anyone in the group currently flying a "Warp Drive" prop ??.......If so

what is your opinion ??.............I just bought this one for my dorment "CASSUTT" project (To be

Rotary powered of course)...............This is a 60" diameter, HI-PERF model bought for a RV-4 to

be powered by 160 hp , 0-320 Lycoming............Should be just right for a short legged CASSUTT

that is limited to about 60" prop diameter and powered by 160 hp+ Rotary...............Prop has never

been used..............I would not put one of these on a hard thumping 4 cylinder Lyc but believe that

it work well on one of our smooth/geared Rotarys.............All opinions valued pro or con !!.............

Thanks,
