Hello, this is Patti at Whirl Wind Propellers. I have seen a number of questions regarding the new composite blades and spinner now available for the V530 propellers, so I thought it would be a good idea to post some information on our newest products to this list.
Whirl Wind is now shipping the new composite W530 propeller blades which are a direct replacement for the wood V530 propeller blades as well as the 20" diameter composite spinner that works with either the V530 or W530 blades.

W530 Composite Blades
The new WhirlWind W530 all-composite blades are designed to fit the existing V530 propeller hub on M-14P engine powered aircraft. The W530 blades have an updated blade twist distribution, new airfoils and a unique profile to give improved take-off, climb, and cruise performance with smooth quiet operation. The unique Whisper Tip™ scimitar blade planform reduces aerodynamic transonic drag, increases efficiency and reduces prop noise. This means more performance for your airplane, and less noise from the propeller.
The W530 has an increased diameter of 98.5” (250cm) which translates to better climb performance. There is also a 6 lbs weight savings with the new W530 blades.
The picture below shows the new W530 blades installed on Ryan Carroll's Yak 52. Ryan has done some test flying to compare the V530 and W530 blade performance. He is on this list and would probably be a good resource to answer questions regarding performance or installation of the W530 blades.

I had Whirlwind refurbed blades on my -50 and they were beautiful!
Personally, in this economy, I would buy something made here in the United States by American workers.
