and I think 1625 is best for ground clearance reasons. Anybody got any better

Paul - for what it's worth, I have got the SR3000/3W in 1625mm diameter for my
Rotax 912S, but the two have not yet been married together, and the airframe is
a long way from completion yet, so I can't report on the success of the
combination.
The high twist of the W blade seems much better suited to the speed range
of the Europa, and should not be causing negative thrust, as some lower-twist
blades can, in certain speed ranges (David Joyce has done the sums on that).
