I read a long time ago that the props on the EZ type aircraft run in
such turbulence that it's recommended they use wooden props only.

Corky,

not questioning what you've read, but didn't Klaus Savier use to make
carbon fibre propellers, very hi-po indeed, for Longs? Coupled with a
pressure-recovery spinner and cowling of his own design, it was worth
quite a few knots.

I am working off dim memories here, but ISTR that Klaus had vibration
problems with an experimental (in the deepest sense of the word)
3-bladed prop and that he recommended 2-blades only for the EZ series
aircraft.

Indeed, here's one for sale on eBay:

Hey, just checked his website and he still does make props:

But they have wood cores. I had thought he made all-compo ones. Guess not.
