I'll add that I believe the blade construction is far superior to metal blades... in the event of a prop strike there is a greatly reduced chance of inflicting damage on the hub and engine since the blades will splinter. The stainless steel leading edge is replaceable (by a prop shop) so there should be near-infinite blade life whereas metal blades are usually only good for a couple of overhauls before the contour is too far gone.

I put a similar prop on my J almost 2 years ago. It is lighter, smoother, and better looking than the McCauley 2-blade. It is slightly slower in cruise, though, but in your case with a turbo I think it wouldn't matter since you can run higher MP if you wish while I'm limited without a turbo. I think high MP and lower RPM is optimal for the MT as I believe the blades were aerodynamically optimized for efficiency at lower RPMs due to noise concerns in the EU. Getting weight off the nose of a turbo Mooney is a good thing too as many of them need or use ballast in the tail to get the CG in the right spot. I had severe trouble with paint eroding while flying in IMC with my first blades. They were repainted under warranty, and shed paint badly again. I insisted on some replacement blades and these have been better so far. /knocking on wood.

I have a 2 blade Mt on my Husky...very smooth and light weight..kpc
