X-Original-Date: Tue, 24 Oct 2006 09:23:21 -0400 X-Original-To: Lancair Mailing List X-Mailer: Apple Mail (2.752.3) Tom & Kevin, I have flown behind a 2 bladed Aero Composites (aerocomposites.com) prop for the last 3 years. I had Hartzells. I like the Aero Composites prop better. After flying it for 3 years I believe that the ACI prop has added between 5 & 7 knots to my speed. I had an engine overspeed last year (3,500 RPM). This overspeed did not cause any prop problems. The leading edge is nickel and after 400 hours is still as smooth as silk. Kevin, You should take a look at ACI. They are near you in Kensington, CT. Lorn > From: "Tom Williams" > > No one has mentioned the Aero Composites prop.
