Michael,
I've had good success with my Aymar-Demuth wood prop on a Lycoming 0-235. I
would recommend it.

Michael,
It's a 72 X 47, but that will NOT work on your 0-200. Talk to them and tell
em what you have in mind, re: climb prop, cruise prop, in between prop.
Mine
is skewed toward the cruise end of the spectrum.

I highly recommend Clark Lydek at Performance Propellers. He made the prop for N24ZM. Excellent workmanship and service. His ad is usually in the back of Sport Aviation.

I second the motion on the Clark Lydek propeller, as the current owner
of N24ZM I attest to the high quality of this "quasi constant speed"
propeller. It is made of 52 laminations of the finest northern (slow
growing) maple, is shaped to treat air very effectively, and is also a
beautiful thing to see.

Talk to this guy. He is advertised in Sport Aviation and makes props

for half of what Sensenich costs.

Well I can't say and I have to respect your opinion. I've only flown one
Fox (mine) and behind a 3 blade 72" ground adjustable Warpdrive and one up
and 1/2 fuel, 1500' per min at 55kts 80% power and 97kts cruise at 75%
(after tweeking the pitch to suit) is pretty good to me. John A.

I know there are better performing composite props out there, but strictly
aesthetically-speaking, nothing beats a three-blade wood prop on a Kitfox.
Period  Personally, I'm not looking to gain a couple knots or 100ft in
the climb-out and give up my GSC! But to each his own...

Steve, Warpdrive comes in 2 or more removeable composite blades, a selection
of lengths and the pitch is ground ajustable. John A.

Warp drives are much, much faster than any wood prop. I would defenently double up on the rib stiching before fitting one of those on a Kitfox. Haven't you ever watched Star Trek:)

Well ... a two-bladed wooden prop isn't bad either and the Sensenich one is really cool! Right now, I have a Jabiru prop but, one day, when I grow up, I'll have a Sensenich!

Is it true that the finish on wood props doesn't stand up to flying in rain?
I wouldn't want to feel restricted from flying in rain.
Maybe I am being too practical,,,,,,
