I'm considering buying the 3B MT prop from Van's.



Primary reason is the lower weight (47.7 lbs) will help off-set the weight 

of the turbo.



Any feedback on how your experience was with MT/Van's/Prop Assy Shop?



Suggestions or other alternatives?



Also it's a 12 week lead time + assembly time

Eric, which turbo were you going with?  How were you dealing with the

lower cowl for distance and heat separation?  Is this the same kit that

Rick Conti had for sale?

Eric,



I purchased my MT Prop from Jim Ayers at Less Drag.  It came fully assembled 

and bolted right on.  No problems and really think you will be pleased with 

the performance of the 3 blades.



Jim was running some group buy specials and my recall is I saved some money 

buying from Less Drag.

I ordered mine through Jim Ayers at Less Drag Products. 20 week lead time but including assembly. Jim offered a group buy back a few years (wish I had hopped on it) and I like the fact I can pick up the phone and get an answer right away. He is also an authorized MT repair & assembly facility. I know I can get service after the sale with him. The cost from Van's may seem less but there are some charges that creep up like customs fees and shipping from several locations. He will let you know the most cost effective method up front, I have to pick mine up at customs but it will be fully assembled and I have a port of entry here in Las Vegas. If your assembler is far from a port of entry, they will need to pick it up$$, clear and pay customs$$, assemble$$ recrate and ship to you$$. Lots of variables.



Contact him at the below address, he knows the props very well.

I love my MT prop but as I have posted previously,  I think from flying side by side with Tim Olson's Hartzell blended airfoil it is  faster, at least at altitudes below 12,000 feet.  Have not flown side by  side at altitude.
