Thanks Ken, I don't get to work as much as I did, plus the cold temps are keeping me in the house.

I'm still planning on an October take off date tho....

Warpdrive and Continental don't like each other, they crack ... I'd look into
that before I flew it.

Thanks, I'm gonna check with the McBeans and Warp drive folks. They recommended this prop.

There used to be a problem that (at least with the IO-240B's), they were
cracking the sleeves on the blades at the hub.

Not sure if that's a problem on yours or not.

I have a three bladeWarp Drive. They suggested I use the heavier hub because of the impulse the Lycoming O-235 will put out, so that's what I installed. Haven't run it yet so don't know if I made a good decision or not.
