Michael,
I have never seen the curved design. I bought the two-bladed SR3000/2W which
is a different shape again: quite wide at the root with a lot of twist. It
was designed for the 100-115 hp range.
I am having problems with it which I hope to have resolved soon. Currently
using Warp Drive again.
You should first ask them what engine etc. it was designed for.
Other builders have gone for the straight blades and are very happy with it.
