| Subject: | Propeller DUC or Woodcomp |
I have the opportunity to buy either a used DUC or Woodcomp fixed pitch prop for
my europa project. They are both very low use time and well priced. I kind of
like the wide chord look of the woodcomp but is the DUC Prop really worth looking
into?. They look kind of strange with the narrow chord. Is the pseudo good
for takeoff and cruise claim they make real?

Just to clarify a bit,
I am clear as to the great advantages of constant speed props in an airplane like
the Europa. I fly a LongEZ which is really limited by the fact that it can
only be fitted with a fixed pitch wood prop. I still manage to get 140-150 knots
on 115 HP though so not too bad.
But I can't spend $10K right now on a beautiful constant speed prop for my Europa.
And the initial mission for my Europa is short flights to grass fields so
for now inexpensive fixed pitch will work fine.
The reason for my question is that I have a friend that swapped props twice in
his 912 ULS powered LSA aircraft. One is a WoodComp and another is a DUC. He wants
to sell them to me quite inexpensively. But I don't want both so just need
to decide if I should get the DUC or the WoodComp. I don't like the way the
DUC looks (narrow chord) but if all the hoopla about its "constant speed" characteristics
is true then maybe is worth consideration. I am hoping some forum
members may have experience with the DUC to share.
Thanks,
Chris
