Hi Kelly, I have the 4-blade HP Warp Drive, it is 74” diameter, set to 14 degrees or 58” pitch. I’m using it on my 13B powered Wag-Aero 2+2 which is a high wing tail-dragger, 110 mph airplane; I’m happy with the performance. The prop is easy to adjust for pitch and is quite a bit lighter than an aluminum 2-blade.

Subject: [FlyRotary] Warp Drive Prop
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 !!.............
