MT has a new 3 bladed scimitar. Kirk
Hammersmith installed it on his ES with the TSIO 550E engine and the Performance
Engines power upgrades. He is getting excellent performance. I have
the 4 bladed MT and the TSIO550E and the lower weight from the 3 bladed
would be great to have during landing flare. The aft elevator is against
the stop. I have heard the hartzell is a great prop and delivers
more speed in cruise, and not as much climb rate, but with the
TSIO550 engine and the heavy prop you may have some situations that are
uncomfortable during landing.

When I asked Tim about prop choice for my ES with the IO-550, he said the
new scimtar Hartzell is the best way to go. It's a significant
improvement over the old Hartzell design. I think weight would be the
only reason to get the MT, certainly not performance.
