I gained maybe 3% on speed over the wood one I had. I had Anderson prop co. chicago modify a prop from a piper PA 140 150 hp. I would never use a modified metal prop again.......as there has been several cases of prop failure on homebuilts using them.

The sensenich prop that the RV guys use is probably the best choice. The drag generated by the Tailwind is less than that of an RV anything and as such, the prop they use will really work great. You might want to take a look at them. The one they use for the RV6 at cruise is the one to have.
