We are an MT dealer and have sold quite a few of the electric controlled units
along with a bunch of hydraulic standard and aerobatic as well as a few fully
reversable units. The props are by far first rate pieces with more engineering
behind them than most auto conversions or kit airframe designs. We have worked
with MT to obtain STC's for props on certified airplanes and I was amazed at
the huge amount of data they gather for every prop they build. The build the
props we recommned for our kit aircraft as well as have built special one of a
kind props for us.

The blades are wood core with a special high strength compressed wood at the
root. The blades are epoxy glass covered and have stainless steel leading
edges bonded to them for errosion protection. The blades are extremely duarble
and approved for flight in rain. The wooden core have near limitless fatique
cycle.

The electric control unit is a panel mounted device with a display and knob
used to set the desired RPM much like the Beech electric prop we had on our old
bonanza. IT works as any constant speed prop to hold the RPM at the pilot
selected point.

Feel free to email me directly if I can answer any other questions for you.
