What kind of prop?

In the picture titled "A happy idiot with his borrowed toy." what kind of prop is that? It looks very different from any others.

Look's like a WhirlWind Aviation prop.
I don't know if it's the STOL ground adjustable or constant speed though.

Re: What kind of prop?

Me and full fuel (48 gals), it goes 95-100 mph on 31" ABWs all day long (approx 1,700 lbs).

When heavy (1,900+), it tends to fly nose high and causes the slats to deploy and create some drag. If I'm loaded to gross (2,100), it slows down to 80-85 mph.

Re: What kind of prop?

It look like it would get you off the ground quick and provide good cooling for the motor at slow playing speeds.
