Dear Listers,



Anybody have any experience or comments on the new MT 2blade Metal CS prop? 

It's supposed to be lighter than the Hartzel an supposedly quieter, smoother 

and no RPM restrictions. I was sitting on the fence between that and the 

Whirlwind 200RV and the Whirlwind 151.

Pros:

* Cheaper ($1100) than WW but price doesn't include assembly once shipped 

from Germany so it maybe about the same.

*MT is an established company and service network (WW just sold to Titan 

Aircraft). Future of Whirlwind service??

Cons:

*Heavier (I think) than WW 200RV and certainly more than WW 151 although 

still lighter than Hatrzel.

* 3 blade WW151 is by far sexier (I won't lie, it does matter although just a 

little)

*Lengthy delivery times on MT's. I have engine already.



Both MT and WW have nicely finished plug and play spinners specific for RV's 

and neither have any RPM restrictions. I read through Randy Levrold's 

excellent prop discussion and was impressed with his thoughts on the 200RV. 



Any thoughts from anyone with either of these  installed? I've ruled out Aero 

Composites and other MT's only because of price. $7500 would be about the 

limit since a rebuilt Hartzel was my original plan. Maybe the new Hartzel blended 

airfoil prop?? I would be greatfull for any guidance.

You might check out the current issue of the RVator.  Van's ended up 
	


replacing one rather than ship it back to Germany for re-building.

The MTV-15-B/183-402 aluminum 2 blade MT propeller can be shipped  

disassembled directly to the purchaser in the USA for $410.  Assembly only  requires 

that you install the spinner dome.
