It is about th e same weight as a catto or prince fixed pitch, but you can adjust it to be e xactly what you want and if you do drag reduction stuff (like the vans wheel pants) you can just adjust the pitch instead of sending the prop back for r ework or a new prop. Compared to my old prince fixed prop the whirlwind ground adjustable is abou t 5% more efficient at 10-12,000 feet. At 10,500', I got 174 KTAS at 8.5 gp h with the prince and 178 KTAS at 8.1 gph with the WW set at the same pitch a s the prince. The prince is better at low altitude (3-4,000').
