Its worth knowing if you are wondering which Woodcomp to fit, wide or narrow or even Woodcomp or Airmaster say, that the same level of repair is not possible with a woodcomp compared to a warpdrive blade and on the wide blade woodcomp all three blades have to be replaced as a set if you get a ding rather than individually. Also narrow blades are likely to be in stock in the uk whereas wide blades are on a lead time. 



Also whereas a warp drive blade will cost you 180GBP a woodcomp blade will cost about 450 for narrow and around 630 for wide.



Yep, I wish I had know that when deciding between an Airmaster and Woodcomp myself. I guess in short, with airmaster the cost is in the hub complexity and woodcomp in the blades maybe. Nice prop though.



Post publish ammendment: With the Warp drive blades I gather you have to send them to New Zealand to get them modified and installed so there is an additional shipping cost, plus the cost to ship back. Maybe someone knows how much this is and how much Europa can do in the UK?



Woodcomp shipping costs are around £200 for a complete prop and £65 for a set of blades.
