I am sure this has been discussed, but allow me to share my particular situation
and get some feedback in this new thread.
My GSC prop is nearing TBO. It only has 300 hours on it, but the 5 years is almost
up. Besides that, there are some minor discolorations at the root and along
the laminate seams that make me nervous. I have also read multiple stories
of GSC props "departing". I have always -- as did the builder -- torqued
the screws to

| Subject: | Unrolling masking tape |
When unrolling the tape hold it with your thumb on top of the tape roll
and a couple of your fingers in the hole. Apply enough pressure so that
the tape comes off the roll at a shallow angle. With a little practice
you can even remove tape from a roll that has badly nicked and dented
sides. Just another one of those high tech skills an aircraft builder
has to learn. (Keep the sides of that tape roll in good condition.)

Ernest, I am running a three blade Warp Drive on my 80hp 701 and it appears to
be working quite well. Roger Dubert mentioned something about getting more performance
(over the warp) from the Sensenich three blade they have on the factory
demonstrator when I went up with him in Mexico last fall so that might also
be an option.
I forget the exact price I paid for my Warp Drive but I think it was around the
$800.00 mark. I think the Sensenich is in the $1500-$2000 range. That's a bit
steep.

I had the warp 70" three blade too Doug.
Good prop, but I would get the nickle plate edge if you takeoff/land in
trashy areas
