      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 on= e for my dorment "CASSUTT" project (To be

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

be powered by 160 hp , 0-320 Lycoming............Should b= e 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

<= /DIV>

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