I am not sure why this never occurred to me when I was flying KR, maybe the cost. They are expensive, but do solve the issue of the limit on the length of the prop for the RPM necessary to achieve maximum power out of an auto conversion engine. I am flying a 3 blade ground adjustable prop from Whirlwind. It has leading edge protection and is a composite prop that is very light.
If I were doing it again, this would be the prop that I would use on my KR. I understand that Sensenich may also make one, and it could be better. I like the service that I get from Whirlwind and the prop is perfect for me. Daniel R.

Also the curves of the design. They do look heavy . . . something at least befitting a Corvair or more powerful engine than the typical VW derivative. Lightness is an advantage I suspect, when it comes to lighter engines.
