Aero Composites Propellers

I would have purchased from Whirlwind in El Cajon, CA at Gillespie Field. I
put
a 3 blade on my race modified HIO360-C1D6 This is the same type of Prop
Wayne
Handley used on his piston driven Raven. They have been around for 9 or 10
years. I would have also considered Hoffman. BTW mine is on a Glasair 1-RG
located in Ogden, UT. I have had it up to 210 Kts true so far, only been
flying
it a few months. Also, I enjoyed your Alien story.


Cool man. Did you build it?

Yes I did, took 19 years with a 10 year hiatus in the middle due to a new
business ,marriage and 4 kids.



Damn, I am sure glad to hear you tell that. Maybe there is hope for me
finishing my project some day when life quits getting in the way.

Speaking solely about the mechanics of the blade and hub (I haven't
looked very closely at their actuator and its system), in my opinion the
AeroComp is a vastly superior product. This is not to say that MT makes
a bad product, they don't, and they have an enviable product history.
However, in my opinion, AeroComp has a more robust design, is using a
much more sophisticated manufacturing process, and has some impressive
test results in the areas of both product strength and performance. The
only area that is yet a great unknown for AeroComp is how durable is
their product? Time will tell, but based upon the other aspects of
their design, I'd wager that they've got longevity nailed as well.
Money not being an issue, I'd hang a pair of AeroComp's on my plane and
very well may now that they make a pusher in addition to the tractor.

Thanks Dave. It is rare that I ever get anything out of this ng. I
appreciate your candid evaluation.

Thanks again.

I came close to selling it a few months back but couldn't do it. I have never
been one to give up on anything and I am getting too damn old to start now. I
will finish it even if I can't afford to keep and fly it afterward. Thanks for
your support.

Yes, I am keeping the faith...

All the glass work is finished, the seats are finished, got my engine
(XP-IOF360), wings have been fitted, have the Blue Mtn EFIS. Need to finish
sanding, painting, propeller, and radio stack. I need about $20k to finish
but have a shortage of money and time to work on it. Had to put a new roof and
siding on the house last year while unemployed. Took a big hit on my funds.

Do you just want minimal radios to get in the air, or are you saving
up for the super stack that the plane deserves?


What I want is the stack that the plane deserves but would settle for the
minimum in good quality radios. Right now though, both are out of the
question.
