It looks like a reasonable alternative- but my opinion is that it is way too expensive to pay for only a very minor improvement in performance for a C/S prop over fixed. Almost 5-8X the price of a rotaryaviation system???

Id also be concerned about being completely reliant on a small production/unknown foreign supplier for parts and support.

definitely things to consider. i don't believe that a C/S prop is required here. not sure, but the i think i read somewhere that it's optional.

what you gain in this package over Tracy's is most of the self-engineering is taken out. but, i do still think that Tracy's way is a good option. a good friend of mine is doing this, so i have a front row seat for the installation.
