Does anyone on the forum have experience swapping to e-Prop's tri-blade? I recently purchased an ELSA RV12 and her Sensenich prop isn't looking all that pretty. I also have a spray-on chromed spinner that is peeling. Some fresh carbon fiber would be a huge improvement from a looks perspective. The increased performance claims are substantial, along with reduced vibration and wear on the ULS gearbox.

Also, correct me if I'm wrong but this would be a major change requiring Phase 1 testing, correct? I need to talk to a DAR, but I would need a reassigned test area since the aircraft is far away from her initial phase 1 area.
