I don't know much about this, but I had considered the topic years ago. The composite MT prop (even with the nickle leading edge) takes a beating and gets pitted easily. Making this a reversing prop (that is, going into Beta) invites heavy ingestion of rocks and debris sucked back up into the prop after it passes over them. It has been my understanding that these beta props (sometimes found on turboprops) get heavy damage and need constant repair/maintenance from the beta feature.

Lancair says they have sold a couple of reversing MT props to Legacies. I'm
thinking about installing one on a IVP and would appreciate any comments.
Thanks
