    I just ordered my new prop today

    It should be here next week some time. I got a 52" 3 blade carbon fiber from Competition Aircraft. These blades use pitch blocks to set the pitch. Extra pitch blocks are $7 a set and available in 1° increments - 8°-18°. I got the blades, hub, and flange for less than $400 including shipping, I'll be doing a installation and review on the prop when it comes.

    Getting the old flange off is tough, it's been on there for years. I started hitting it with wd_40 today and got all the set screws out. I'll keep using the wd_40 and tapping it with a hammer a few days then I'll try pulling it with a puller. I really don't want to put any heat on it if I can help it.
