  Thanks for the reply Kevin.  I have talked with most of the local
  pilots and they agree and disagree with you.  First, on larger engines
  (over .90) they prefer a wooden prop.  BUT, almost all of them say
  that the newer plastic props are fine for the smaller engines and they
  have not seen any kinds of hairline cracks in a long time..  One of
  the older pilots said they have improved them dramatically over the
  last two or three years...
