Hello Duncan,

Quite happy with my Fixed pitch Warpdrive with a 912S and a trigear fitted with
full speed kit.  

Reasons:-

1) Cost of circa 700 vs 3000 . . .
2) Can change individual blades is one gets damaged
3) Less to worry about/fewer logbooks and less maintenance
4) 19.5 degrees gets me in and out of short strips like Deanlands
5) Cruise is a reasonable 110kts at 4800 RPM
6) That setting produces around 14.5-15l/hr economy
7) Climb rate around 700FPM

I hope that helps!

Clive Sutton
