The damage issue to the rear can be annoying but it's not a real big deal to repair. I have found that leading with the rear is a must. On take off I lead with the rear and then bring the nose up a little before adding front power. This has all but eliminated any issues with the rear. If I have a long taxi on a hot day I will taxi with the front as primary but as long as you taxi with the rear and don't use the front to blow anything back to the rear you'll be fine. I have had some bad damage on the original rear prop also. So there is no cure for the potential issue, just live with the system. The only time I bring both engines to power at the same time would be taking off on a short field.

The MT props are fantastic
