Hi Carl,
Me too, Woodcomp wit scimitar blades and reverse, Smart Avionics controller. I
like them both, and enjoy the money saved. The reverse is nice to generate
surprise
on faces, backing up into a parking space. Have not tried reverse during
roll-out yet. Only concrete landings so far, it could be handy on grass and
will be handy on ice.
Since i have never flown with anything else, it's difficult to compare. Ivan
Shaw
found the prop smooth and silent running. He also was not sure about it's
efficiency,
but it was at engine run-in time, difficult to say. There is no vibration
at all. It came assembled and balanced. The numbers are as William once
published. At FL 125 the prop was maximum coarse, doing 135 knots indicated and
4800 on the controller. More throttle to climb a bit more resulted in more
revs to my surprise. Maybe that's to be expected?
Regards,
Jos Okhuijsen
