Rick,
I read the AeroComposite article which discussed
your trial with their prop. It sounds like it is better than sliced bread,
but I'm not convinced that it is the only choice. The price is $12,500 for
the AeroComposite prop and the Lancair price for the Hartzell prop is
$10,950. The Hartzell is "full feathering" which might be an advantage if
the engine quits and it is less expensive.
What I'm asking is - which one is the better deal -
which one gives the most "bang" for the buck. Many times the cheapest is
not the best deal, but in this case, it might be.
This kit is going to be expensive enough and I want
to prevent my normal problem solving technique - doing it over and over until I
get it right! I would like to spend the money just one time and that
choice be the right one. I'm sure everything is a compromise, but I want
the best climb possible and the most speed available as well as longevity.
Did I miss anything? (grin)
Thanks for your input.
Regards,
