Default Whirlwind 74 RV Propeller

I traded my 200 RV for the 74 RV. It really looks cool. It is a little slower than the 200RV only a knot or 2. It really slows in the pattern better. It is also louder in cruise than the 200 RV. For cool it is worth it, for speed don't waste your money. I have a IO 390. I suppose now I'll have to get 10:1 pistons to make more power to see if it will be faster then.

That's unfortunate. Slower, slightly heavier and louder. :-(

If I'd have known that, the cool factor wouldn't have been enough to get me to choose it.
