[C320-list] folding or feathering

[Jerry Clayton]

Brian,

     Last year I was debating on which prop to buy and saw this same 
article.  I checked with the 320 group for their opinions and finally 
decided on the Flex-O-Fold 3 blade folder.  It's been on a year and I have 
been happy with my choice.  I was impressed with the construction and design 
of the unit.  It makes a big difference in sailing performance, especially 
in light air.  I have a 2004 320 with  a different engine than yours so my 
prop choice would not be the same as yours.

Regards,

Jerry Clayton
