Sig, you may need to ask what the performance PENALTY is with a WW prop. In my -10, no other prop is faster than the blended airfoil Hartzell...so far.
Best,

Late Reply
Just wanted to throw my name in the hat as a confirmed buyer if a group buy comes about.
I missed the last one a few years ago, and am now at the perfect point in my build for a new WW prop.
Thx

Count me in. I am scheduled to travel to the WW factory in Austinburg, OH mid-Feb to have a look at what they do.

That seems to be the consensus from my research so far. Plus it's about $2K cheaper.

I need the WW because of the light weight, in a 9A with a heavier engine up front. I want the CS prop but I have to deal with the weight penalty, it's a tradeoff of pounds versus dollars.

The Vetterman site has a pretty good comparison between the props. It came out almost identical. Anyone who says nothing beats their prop better have tried both on the same aircraft because if not its pretty much the same as saying my girlfriends better lookin than yours, you may believe it to be true from the bottom of your heart but it doesn't mean it is

Well I think my WW 200RV prop on my plane is superior in every way, but, that is what I am supposed to think, Right? By the way, I also am quite sure my girlfriends better lookin than yours! Please let me know your thoughts, as I am sure you will agree.  Regards, Allan
