The direct bid from MT, was for $14,850, including the
spinner and some other accessories. The Craig Catto prop was for less than $3000, and the performance
figures were almost identical.
The Catto prop on my Velocity 20B cost $1750 and weighs
17 lbs. My take of roll is in line with, and my cruise burn is lower for
the same speeds as the Velocity guys that paid $10,000 more for an MT that weigh 33 lbs more. Not
to mention expensive servicing later. Puzzling. Maybe on a hot day somewhere
at high altitude I’ll get a hint.
