I don't know the answer to your question but I'm seriously considering a wood prop for my RV9A.
I know they have some extra maintenance issues but Van's build manual indicates there are some advantages to a wood prop.
I'd like to hear from some "wood prop experts" out there on their experiences with a wood prop.
What are the pros & cons?
