You do that Phil, then come and compare it with mine before you contemplate
going VP. My XS has a Woodcomp CS/VP prop. I have no complaints about it
regarding value for money, and it does add to the performance. Having said that
I
would not hurry to spend the money again. It is 20 pounds heavier, it requires
extra attention in flight and in maintenance, and it does not increase the
pleasure I get from flying. The Europa flies beautifully with fixed pitch
Add to that the fact that you will have yet another maintenance log to keep
up and more expense.
I will keep it on now that I have got it, because of the marginal benefits I
get on longer trips, and because people think it adds resale value (should I
ever have to sell). If it really broke though, I would not replace it!
Good luck Bryan
