The ground adjustable prop only weighs 2 lbs more than the wood prop. The extra weight is in the metal prop hub, so the rotational moment of inertia may be less for the ground adjustable. Unless you're trying to reduce weight like I was for the coast-to-coast record run, the weight difference isn't significant. Naturally you should do a revised W&B if you change.
