Whirlwind 330 73" on a -14 (TW)

[etocr]

Hi Gang,

I fixin' to hit buy on the WW 330, 3-blade, 73". Does the 73" provide adequate ground-clearance? And what is the downside of ordering a counter-weighted prop even if I all my aerobatic desires can be meet without legally requiring a parachute?

Thanks!?

Rick.

And what is the downside of ordering a counter-weighted prop even if I all my aerobatic desires can be meet without legally requiring a parachute?

Biggest downsides are:

• Extra weight, due to the counterweights
• Extra cost, due to the counterweights
• Need a larger spinner, and therefore a non-standard or modified cowling, in order to fit around said counterweights
