Hi Randy,

 

Your very funny.  You have quite a collection too that may be slowing you down.  Maybe we should be requesting that they start making the trophies out of aluminum.

 

That 3 blade scimitar  MT is a sexy looking prop.  I was hoping that I would hear everyone come back that they were faster with it.  Love the quiet and smooth but got to have that speed baby.  Tonight I did a test run with some minor tweaks and it ran 212 kts at 3000 ft.  Std day. 2550 and WOT.  Guess I am going to need rocket pods to do much better.

I have only run the MT 3 blade. I too love this propeller. Very smooth and light. On my IO320 the prop weight is only 37 lbs. Please don't ask how I know this but it is a wood core, combination of spruce and a highly compressed beachwood If I recall what the factory told me, with a fiberglass shell and stainless leading edge for protection from moisture ect..
Wood also is flexible and has natural dampening properties. It is the only propeller I have run on the airplane but it is fast. Even with my Legacy style tips (25' wing) I am also running the larger legacy tail (MKII) and a completely stock IO320 ( injected/ Elec IG) and I can get to 198-200 KTS TAS at 8000.
I would love to try other propellers but that is too much of a hassle for me. I am happy with the set up and would definetaly buy another one..
Craig, If I recall, weren't you at about 210 KTS with your current set up?
Leave the OSH GC trophy home and the weight savings alone will get you another 5 KTS...

FWIW...

Craig,

I love my http://www.aerocomposites.com/ prop. I have over 600 hours on the prop, including an overspeed to 3,400 rpm (not the props fault), and the prop doesn't even have 1 scratch on the leading edge. I have seen Hartzel's that looked like they needed an overhaul at 200 hrs on PA-180's.

Aero Composites uses a nickel leading edge. No inspection required for the overspeed according to Aero Composites.
