I have had the opportunity to fly the new 3 blade Scimitar Hartzell prop in a Lancair IVP and before installing the prop we carefully measured the cruise performance then installed the Hartzell prop and again checked the cruise speed. The cruise speed was 9 mph faster at 75% power, than three blade MT at 7500 feet. Due to pressures of leaving for Redmond OR. we didn't get to check other altitudes and power settings. The difference in climb was very small and hard to quantify properly. Jack Webb L 360, L IV
