don't forget the increased price tag too! If  the price were right I would buy it, but sex appeal is not worth paying too much  more to have. 

  

 When I was at AOPA in Palm Springs last year I  spoke with Hartzell and asked if they had any idea of performance for a RV-10,  the guy kindly told me there wasn't much there for the price  difference..

  

 with all that said.. being Van's already has a  Hartzell prop option I can't see why they wouldn't consider adding another  prop to the options list, would probably be a win-win scenario doing  so.

  

 John- take a trip over to Van's and see what you  can do.

If he comes to the RV-10 dinner next Saturday, you can bet I will invest

the time.  I don't want to rekindle the MT discussion so I will let this

simmer until then.  



 



As most of you can currently conclude, Nothing absolutely nothing can

match the 2 blade Hartzell Scimitar when property balanced for

smoothness, climb and cruise on the D4A5.  For sex appeal, the vote goes

to a custom painted AeroComp and we await Deems first flight with

patience.

I saw an article today on aero-news today where Hartzell has anounced a 

new 74" _*2 bld*_ COMPOSITE prop. Designed for the Diamond DA40'. They 

say it's 2 kts slower but weighs 16 lbs less than it's Aluminum cousin. 

It also costs $11k !

John, where's the "approved data" on that? [grin} To my mind the big advantages of the Scimitar over the 3 blade Aerocomposites are (1) cost and (2) ease of cowl removal and reinstall. Aerocomposites looks better to me for takeoff, climb, quietness, smoothness, and ground clearance. Their engineering is impressive, indeed, at least to my eye. My wiser half worries about paint adhesion.  Hard call for us, but we're with Deems on this one. Aerocomposites has our deposit.

 Boy do we ever! I'm really impressed with his willingness to get everything right as possible before flight. You go, Deems!

Debbie Dewey's -10 has been flying with the Aerocomposites 3-blade for well over a year now.  It flew in the 2006 AirVenture Cup http://www.airventurecup.com/racers/results/2006results.html
