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 !!.............
