I have seen Warp Drive
props on friends Ezes. The coning scares me!

What's "coning"?

The prop blades bending forward...the prop disk defines a shallow cone
(open end frontward, of course) under load.

Thanks. As usual the big R comes through. I've seen the phenomenon but
it's not bothersome to someone knowing the great strength and elasticity
modulus of carbon fiber. Where is testimony that a blade has failed?
There is gossip about an Ivoprop but is it true?
