True, but I've got a copy of the manual, and it does mention both SAE type 1, and SAE type 2, "available for Subaru H6 Eggenfellner rated at 200 HP." I'd post it, but it's 2+ megs. The early ones did use warp drive blades, which likely aren't suitable for faster planes like RV-x's. But some, including one I'm looking at now, has Sensenich blades on the type 2 hub. If I decide to get serious, I'll contact Sensenich to see if the blades are RV-suitable.

Do you know if Quinti is still in business? If they are, they seem to be in stealth mode, with no web site that Google can find. Any distributors in the USA? The prop I'm currently looking at has been operating fine for a number of years (and hours), but I'd prefer not paying for something for which I'll never be able to get replacement parts.

Thanks for the help,

Charlie

Charlie,
I still see a few resellers for Quinti stuff. Be aware that the hubs I'm seeing are only rated to 160 HP. A 2 rotor with decent tune should exceed that easily. A peripheral port by 40 or 50 HP! They were using warp drive blades when I first saw them, don't know if that is still true.

There have been several Eggenfelner systems coming off RV's lately, and some have Quinti props. The H6 engines appear to have prop hubs that would match ours (Tracy's). Unfortunately, the Quinti web site is gone, so I assume that the company is gone, too.

Anyone here in the rotaryverse have experience with Quinti electric props? Safety record, quality, performance, etc?

Thanks,

Charlie
