Can I get an opinion on the Warp Drive Composite from someone using one or
an ex-User?

Always!
Been flying with nothing but Warp Drive on my MKIII since Sep 1993.
Warp Drive takes a licking and keeps on ticking. Several times the
Warp Drive has gotten me home an incident with FOD that would have
left others stranded without a prop.
Virtually no maintenance. Never had to balance one. It is set and
forget, once you get it dialed in where you want it. A good warranty
for life. If for some reason you aren't happy, call Daryl at Warp
Drive and get a refund.
Not only are Warp Drive props used on aircraft, but on many air boats
which live in an environment that is not nearly as comfortable as what
we enjoy in the air. There is an airboat owned and operated by
Alabama Power Company, powered with a 350 Chevy turning a 6 or 8 blade
Warp Drive. Heard it coming down the lake where I live long before I
discovered what was making all the "Warp Drive" sound.
All 3.5 flights to Alaska by my MKIII were pushed along by a Warp
Drive.
Daryl, president of the factory, is also the guy you will talk to when
you call them on their 1-800-833-9357. He is extremely knowledgeable
of his product and its applications.

It sure has a purty hub, all engine turned and shiny, but I haven't flown
with it yet. Its in my leather lounge chair in the den. I was a little
disapointed with the workmanship on the instalation of the nickel edges. I
was told it didn't matter, and I am a little anal anyway!
I got it as a gumption inducer!

Yes Sir.
Warp Drive has a nickle steel inlaid leading edge that is 15" long on
the 72" props. This edge is tough and keeps the rain from eroding the
leading edge of the solid carbon fiber blades. Works a little better
than SS and urethane tape.
