Dave,
What timing. I need a 76" 3-blade for my project. Price
sounds good for an electric adjustable. How do we contact
Jim?

There is a guy here in so-cal
offering a discount on MT eletric c/s props (left or right, 2 or 3
blade). It costs slightly more to have it delivered elsewhere in
the country. I thought some may be interested, I am. The
prices quoted are for the 72" blades.

Hi Dave,
I'm running the left hand turning MT electric CS Propeller on my LOM
engine.
I really like it.
However, I bought the 3 blade propeller which lists for $10,880, and this
was
before I was a distributor.
This is a special price. Probably the 1st annual sale price is the
easiest
way to describe it.
MT Propeller is a certified propeller manufacturer. Their
propellers are
actually all custom designed propellers. They just don't advertise
them that
way.
The price would be the same on this buy for the left hand turning
electric CS
propellers.
2 blade - MTV-17-C/L178-59 $7,350 assembled in Southern
California.
3 blade - MTV-18-C/L178-119d $8,700 assembled in Southern
California.Jim Ayers

- All this talk about 2.85 gear boxes, getting higher into the power
curve,
- improving cliumb performance, etc, is really interesting. Since
3 of my 6
- initial reasons for going rotary were reliability, I'm wondering what
running
- at these higher power levels is going to do in that regard.
-
- Hi Marv,
-
- I think it's extremely unlikely that anyone will have a catastrophic
failure of a NA rotary below 8000 rpm. Now if you turbo it, all
bets are off. This is one of the reasons I no longer run a turbo on
the plane. I can afford to blow the FD engine, and AAA will tow it
back to my house.
-
- You are correct about wear though, but you have to decide what you
want. I want a toy, that makes people say "Holy S***"
every time I take off. Even if it "only" lasts 1000 hours
before it wears out, that's 30 years of flying for me. The symptoms
of a worn out engine are pretty benign, so when the time comes, I just
rebuild it.

- Cheers,

<g>)

- Why....do you have another turbo? I was considering adding one
primarily for the benefit of muffling the exhaust. I was impressed when I
heard John Slade's engine running with the turbo. Very quiet.
Possibly because the turbo muffles the exhaust, and then the prop
finishes the job? Paul Conner
