All you LNC2 builders out there.  I am selling my Hoffman propeller as described below:

HOFFMAN 3-BLADE COMPOSITE PROPELLER – A very good deal. $8,500. 
Beautiful Hoffman (Germany) 3-blade composite propeller was on a Lancair 360 powered by a Lycoming IO-360 (180 to 200 HP) engine.  It is a constant speed propeller and functions perfectly. Very similar to MT propeller.

DETAILS:

3-blade constant speed propeller made by Hoffman Propeller Co. (Germany).  Like new condition composite propeller with aluminum spinner asking $8,500.00 (new price is $14,064 + $1,549 = $15,613).  Fits on Lycoming IO-360 engine with SAE2 bolt pattern.  Prop arc diameter is 69 inches (each blade is 34 ½ inches from center of hub to tip of prop).  Distance from the mounting flange to the back of the spinner mounting plate is 4 ¼ inches.  The spinner diameter at the mounting plate is 12 ½ inches.  The prop has epoxy leading edges.  Log book and owner's manual.  One owner, 100 hours total use.  This propeller functioned flawlessly and was easy to dynamically balance with the engine and was very smooth in all RPM and power settings.  Nearly perfect condition, more photos available upon request.  Professionally crated in plywood crate for shipment.  Reasonable offers considered.  319 360-9775. Cedar Rapids, IA
