What kind of money would I be looking at for a 2 blade MT constant speed prop, and who is their local dealer?  I checked their website but don't know if you buy it directly from them or whether or not they have local dealers.  My current prop is a fixed pitch 68" wood prop, and I am either going to get a Sensinich 70" prop or a constant speed model in the very near future.  Right now, my cruise prop only runs up only to about 2250 on the ground, and hasn't posed a problem on takeoff (I fly out of a 3000ft paved strip) even close to gross.  Right now it appears that if I have a deflation on the front tire, the prop would still clear the ground, but the 70" Sensinich model with that extra inch sticking out the bottom might not.  Any thoughts?  I thought I heard you guys talking at one point that a factor in purchasing a prop, was the length and whether or not it would still clear the ground in the event of a front tire deflation.

Thanks.
