    I bought a wrecked composite constructed european motorglider that had those strips all over it. On the flaps, ailerons, tail, etc. But they had none on the carbon fiber prop. I have heard of using the tape on props before, but never heard any results. So yes, someone should give it a try. Might be a great mod?

    Full throttle, I never see the higher hp. rpms 2550-2800.
    I would like to get more of a climb pitch prop I guess is what I'm saying.
    In my mind, if I can reach VNE and max rpm. at the same time (which neither one of those I want to be at) then I'll have a good combo of climb and cruise.
    I definitely value other opinions from you guys with more experience with IO240s though.
    Any thoughts?
