The ground adjustable prop only weighs 2 lbs more than the wood prop. The extra weight is in the metal prop hub, so the rotational moment of inertia may be less for the ground adjustable. Unless you're trying to reduce weight like I was for the coast-to-coast record run, the weight difference isn't significant. Naturally you should do a revised W&B if you change.

That is a little more than I would have liked, but still, very workable. With my large frame, the best way to get more useful load now will be to lose weight. Inspection tomorrow and then phase one taxi testing.
