There is an excellent article on the benefits and tradeoffs of 2 blade
versus 3 blade props in the latest issue of "Aviation Consumer" magazine.
You might want to get a copy.

After flying a Diamond with a three blade MT, it was more than enough to
convince me. It was so smooth and quiet.
I ordered my prop at Oshkosh this past week. A three blade MT.

A bit controversial this one but from my desk research my conclusion was
the MT 3 blade prop reduced the speed of the airplane, but run smoother.
The Hartzell prop although heavy was not quite as fast as the fastest of
the bunch it's a lot cheaper. For me (highly personal decision) the
Hartzell was the best value for money and they seem to have resolved
their repair problems they were plagued with a few years ago....At least
I know of several examples oflate with high hours and no issues.

Hey, I spent a lot of years in the UK, and that comment did not come
from me. I love the Brits for many reasons, one of which is that they
are usually
smarter than us here in America on a number of issues. Unfortunately,
one of
them is not this frigging war.

Bob,
Thanks for hosting this. I had a great time.
You did an awful lot of work to make this happen. Please keep my email and
let me know how I can help next year.

I want to leave the protective blue film on my finished surfaces till it's
absolutely necessary to remove it. So that could be 2-3 years for the blue
film on all the finished tail feathers. I understand there is a chance that
the adhesive gets old, stickier, and harder to remove. Anybody experienced
that?

I've been removing some that's about 2 years old over the last couple of
days. Most comes off easily. The sheets that are stubborn just leave
some adhesive on the metal. I've found that a heat gun used to head the
metal only a little (still not too hot to touch) has made mine release
easily. It even helps with the stuff that's releasing ok, making the job
go faster.
Some have seen corrosion problems under the plastic. I've only seen a
couple of very small spots at the edge of a piece that were less of a
problem than some scratches that were there when I unboxed the parts.
YMMV

I built a map box and put it between the seats on my RV-7A tip
up.......something you may want to consider. With a flip over padded top,
it also serves as an arm rest for both pilot and passenger.

The tip up frame, the C channel at the front of the canopy, comes down about
2 or 3 inches from the top. That's about all I can think of at the
moment...

Heat gun helps but did not help much on my blue vinyl left on for 3 years.
I let the painter take off the sticky stuff when he painted it.
