This sounds like an ideal application for a Paul Lipps type
  propeller.
  The Phantom biplane has won a Reno with his 3 and later 4
  blade props.

Thanks Steve. How are you doing?

I'll fly the Mike Wills RV4 up for a visit some time this summer
so you can get a good look.

Paul--that would be great Paul.  Was very encouraged to see you got
Mike's -4 in a good home and have a plan to further develop it with a new
peripheral port engine.   When you work up to extended cross country and are
ready for the mountains coming this way,  you and any of the other rotary
folks flying are will always be welcomed here at "Dietz International" with
northwest hospitality.

Thanks Steve

I think we are going to do a new "racing" gearbox as well :)
