John is a little light on my mileage – it was 1,100+ miles. I also went to the EAA open house at Van’s – an event that was very interesting. After buying a couple of very expensive slices of pizza, Van’s gave me a pair of -10 QB wings and a finish kit.
Cheers

Rick Sked, Deems Davis and Les Kearney all exceeded the 1,000 miles from home rule to make the dinner. The Hickman's were gracious hosting the event. All things are possible for the Fall get to gather.
Still LOL.

Haha, gone to a dinner 1000 miles away? .. you crack me up [img]cid:image001.gif(at)01C8B797.5F8A6830[/img]. By the way, thanks for sponsoring it.
Any performance difference noticed? climb, cruise, etc.. with the composite prop?
Any updates (unofficially) on the DECK and future plans for it's expanded capabilities?
Thanks!

"I want to know Why they are still also ONLY selling the 2 blade Hartzell prop when Hartzell has composite blades that work just as well if not better (at a higher cost).."
You should have gone to the RV-10 dinner last weekend, I just happen to know who is testing the new 2 blade composite Hartzell prop on a RV-4.
Extremely smooth, much lighter, and it looks and sounds cool.

I am still gathering data on the prop, should have it in another week or so. I am currently flying the flight director, autopilot interface, and weather. We currently have six full time engineers and four of them are only working on software.

It's amazing how far these RV's have come, from the 4 to the 10. Just amazing. That Cessna, what, a 140? Not bad either. And, BTW, I think Les Kearney, who attended the dinner, lives at least 1,000 plus miles distant. Get on over here in the Fall, Pascal. No excuses.

I showed the picture of Rob's prop to my partner ... his immediate response was, "Man, that's one ugly prop!"
Even if it functions better, I doubt if he'll consider it -- flyboys, go figure. But then if we're obsessing over dimples, elevator horns, etc. (Swiss watch), I guess it makes sense to want it to look good in the hangar.
I just wondered if that was a typical response, beauty in the eye of the beholder, etc.

I can't say I was interested in the blade for the looks but for the
advantages of the composite over aluminum for the life of the blade- aka
repair versus file and eventually replace due to large nicks and usual wear.
The composite will be more expensive up front, I know, but if Rob comes back
with the conclusion that it is smoother, quieter, and so on than I'll weigh
the advantages.
I don't want it to look good sitting in the hangar I do in the air when the
prop is turning and no one knows how it looks as it goes by them 
To answer your question, however, haven't seen it other than on a DA40
http://www.hartzellprop.com/pressroom/index_press.htm and Rob's, pictures
may not do it justice.

If they charge anywhere near the 12k they do for the DA40, they are going to have a hard time competing against MT and Aerocomposite in the experimental space. Unless of course they show huge performance gains which I doubt.

The FW190 (MT propeller) gets a common response from those who do not
understand prop efficiencies. In the warbird community, performance
trumps one individual's aesthetic opinion every time.
I asked about this exact prop at OSH last year and the Hartzell guys
were asses. They said "Get Van to offer it". "It's too expensive for
you". Seems we are closer to an improved prop every day. There are some
that felt the Scimitar design was ugly in comparison to the decades old
and inefficient standard blades.
I am envious and appreciative of Rob's effort to help bring it to
market. Next will be a three blade version. Watch Sean Tucker's video
on the Hartzell site. When your life hangs on the prop blade. The new
one is RAD.

I am assuming they will be more than MT.
The DA40 is their STC conversion pricing that is "propeller kits come
complete with the propeller, a highly-polished spinner, STC paperwork and
the exclusive Hartzell Plus ThreeT warranty".
I have hopes that there will be a OEM deal through Van's which may bring
the cost down a few K's.
Reviews and pricing would indeed determine the final decision however.
