Default Whirlwind 200 RV ? Tip Advice

I hope to order my propeller in a few days. I didn?t realize there was a different tip option for the blades until I spoke to the Company last week. I thought the difference was just in the paint job however there is a slight tip shape difference.

My question is; is there a performance difference or noise difference? Can anyone speak to this from experience? Or is the difference so small it makes no difference?
Thanks,


Standard


Swept

Default I used swept for 9A

I used swept for 9A to help protect from FOD. for a 9 I would use standard tip to eliminate the nickel sharp trailing edge because I snagged it once with my coveralls when working around the prop, no damage but the edge is there. I really like this prop!

I wondered the same thing ... I like the look of the swept tip better!
