I don't see the thread from the last WW group buy but my recollection was they had a sliding scale discount - the more props that were sold, the better the price. Kevin told me they sold 73 props, and he said that without hesitation - which suggests to me it was memorable in a pretty good way. Also, as I recall, you could order any WW prop. I too am interested in the WW200.
Now what happened before doesn't necessitate what will happen this time - or even if there is another WW group buy.

Downside of not using new propellor for long duration
Hi Robert,
I would caution purchasing a WW200RV prop if you're still some time out from completing your project. I have just removed my prop for inspection (new seals etc) after just 30hours on my RV-7A. I had purchased the prop some 5 plus years ago and not used until first flight back on the 15th of July 2011. (Stored in original box in lounge of home) I love the performance and look of the WW200RV though sadly right around 8 hours, I noted small grease spots and streaks on my canopy. Closer investigation revealed it was coming from the blade / hub end of my prop. After contacting WW, they indicated it may stop after a few more hours though with 30 hours up it was not reducing. Long story short, WW200RV props are 600hrs or 5 years TBO. If you don't use it soon after purchasing, chances are you may then need to have it stripped and new gaskets installed as I have just done. 
Hope this helps, Greg (IOF-360 RV-7A, WW200RV) |

Prop
I'm actually thinking of a ground adjustable. I don't remember the details of the first group buy. Maybe a ground adjustable wasn't an option as part of that purchase. Does anyone know what the approximate prices are for the constant speed and the ground adjustable.
I assume the 5 year overhaul is not applicable to the ground adjustable. Anyone know?

long term storage
I had the same experience when I got a good price on a WW200RV and it sat for 4 years. Grease leak at low hours followed by the need for a reseal job. I think there is a way of ordering it for long term storage...you'll need to check with WW.

The Whirlwind website lists the RV 200 at 8665 for the prop and 1275 for the governor. $9,940
