The Prop Bank was fairly short lived, partly due to lack of interest, and partly because one of the first to use it took several months to pay for a prop that was sent to him, even after many requests to either return it or pay for it. I thought it was a great idea, but it turned out to be an annoyance instead.
Just to see if there's any interest, how about anybody with a prop to sell post details to KRnet and maybe we can swap some props around? Send a $250 deposit or something, and try it to see if it'll work. If nothing else, it'll give you some guidance on what size might work best for your plane.
I will say that Ed Sterba will make you a VW prop to fit whatever you want for $400 (which includes shipping), for anything under a 56" diameter prop (or somewhere around that diameter), and maybe $450 for a longer one. They are great props, and he has a pretty good feel for what works on which airplane/engine combination, and will re-pitch it a bit for free if needed.
You've probably seen this already, but check out http://www.krnet.org/kr-info.html for some idea of which props work on which airplanes and engines. Yes, this needs updating, but several requests for updated information have yielded no updates.....
