The Wow-Prop...

When changing to the Simonini engine I increased the pitch of my 66 inch Warp Drive prop but had the impression I didn't get the performance I expected. After long back and forth with a Spanish propeller maker I ordered a 2 blade custom built 72 inch wood prop. It looked soo good... and under winter conditions it worked well - not so in the less dense air of hot summer.
I have just received a swept blade (Scimitar) 72 inch prop from NR-prop in Ukraine (also known as "Kool prop" or "Luga prop" but I call it to "wow-prop"...) 

 My first impressions are very positive:
  • Very smooth
  • Low noise
  • 20+ km/h maximum speed
  • 700-1000 lower RPM at normal cruise speed
  • Unbeatable price
  • Good experience buying directly from Ukraine
