Greetings,
I've just ordered a Onex kit, and I'll be using the Aerovee (maybe turbo) engine. In looking at the Sensenich prop options, I see wood finish, and composite. Unfortunately, I can't find much detail on either, even on the Sensenich page.
Does either version have a metal leading edge insert?
Is the composite finish that much better to warrant the difference in price? I figured the reason for it was to allow you to fly in the rain, but one interview I read with a Sensenich rep made it sound like the composite would just last a little longer in rain, but that it wasn't really intended to operate regularly in the rain. Of course I don't intend to operate in the rain any more than can be avoided, so I'm not sure what the composite will really do for me.
Thanks,
Rusty
