Hi -

I use the W74EK-54 from Sensenich, and went through the same props Bruce
did prior to this prop. I think I am the first one using the 74, as it resulted from
a conversation with Sensenich about the original 72", which we cut back to 70.5-71".
I marked mine with a Sharpie and used a belt sander to remove
material to the line.

With the 74" prop in my plane, I can hit VNE in level flight, and don't feel that
in my plane there was any loss of cruise speed. Everybody get's a little
different results it seems.

I'm with Bruce on the rain issue. I fly in the rain, and I prefer flying on grey
dreary days to bright sunny days, so having a prop that I don't have to
worry about being eaten would be nice.

Regards,
Jeff Hays
