You do that Phil, then come and compare it with mine before you contemplate 
going VP. My XS has a Woodcomp CS/VP prop. I have no complaints about it 
regarding value for money, and it does add to the performance. Having said that
I 
would not hurry to spend the money again. It is 20 pounds heavier, it requires

extra attention in flight and in maintenance, and it does not increase the 
pleasure I get from flying. The Europa flies beautifully with fixed pitch

Add to that the fact that you will have yet another maintenance log to keep 
up and more expense.

I will keep it on now that I have got it, because of the marginal benefits I 
get on longer trips, and because people think it adds resale value (should I 
ever have to sell). If it really broke though, I would not replace it!

Good luck    Bryan
