Kolbers:

 

Installed a new 68" 3 blade prop today.  It has straight blades.  More blade area, but probably will not have the twist of the tapered blade.

 

I have it propped for 5,400 rpm static.

 

Have not had a chance to test fly.  Plan to test flyin in the morning.  Have no idea what it will turn WOT straight and level flight.

 

I went to a 68" prop to see if it will be a little quieter than the 71" with tapered blades.  Looks strange having so much clearance between prop tips and tail boom.  I have flown with 72" props and 3/4" tip clearance.  Those were really noisy, but climbed like crazy.  Now days I am willing to give up some performance if I can get "a little peace and quiets".
