...with mine. It performs well and the customer service outstanding. However, I can only compare it to a Performace Propeller prop and a Sterba prop. It easily outperforms both of those on both takeoff and cruise. It's also a nice looking prop. The Performace Propeller prop was better looking because of the multiple laminates but the P-tip has the carbon fiber cloth look with is also nice looking. Just different than wood. Can't compare it to the others or the three blades.

Lonnie Prince is one of the nicest and most capable people in this business, from personal experience.

I had a P-tip on a prior plane. Only down side is that they do not offer nickel leading edges, so flying in rain will beat up the leading edges pretty well.

If you are a VFR only kinda flyer, they are quiet and smooth.

We had a carbin-fiber "P" tip custom cut far our IOX-360 with leading edge gards. Our request was for best use, for long cross country up at 8 to 16,000 msl to start off with 195 bhp. at sea level. Prince had no problem in handling our request and understanding this need. The nice one is not cheep, but I like it a lot. OH it came in at 12.5 lbs. I think I still owe Prince a hot-dog and a beer. I will pay that bill some day. It was well earned. Thanks White-house.

I highly recommend Prince props. My RV4, 160 hp, came with it when I bought it.
Several years ago I sent it back and Mr. Prince refurbished it beautifully. I can't
compliment him enough for his service and integrity.

I now have 70 hours on my 9-A. The aircraft exceeds all expectations but I have no basis for comparisons with other props. My experiences with Lonnie mirrors the other posts. Knowledgeable, professional, competent & a great sense of humor.

I'd recommend this prop to any builder who values the KISS principle.
