Hey All-
Sorry, I don't post a ton as my project was in hiatus for several years. I was at the point I thought of selling and buying a flying one, but I am back on track for competing mine with some help/motivation.
I am close to needing to order a prop for my 7A/ IO390. At one point I was 100% in the Hartzell BA C/S camp. After talking to some I am now considering their composite prop as well (have ruled out WW).
I know with the 390 I am carrying a little more weight up front so the CG issue that faces a lot of 7 folks with composite props shouldn't apply (I don't think).
I know there have been several conversations on this over the years, and I think I've read them all, but would love to revive and hear what people think.
Pros as I know them:
Cons:
Thanks!

Pros as I know them:
- Lighter on the crank
- Climb
- smoother
- quieter?
Cons:
- Cost- $6K more with spinner
Thanks!
