Dear List,

	I have placed my Vans order for the BA prop and they sent me a

"Please confirm this order" letter to sign & return stating that this is

the prop I am requesting for my IO-540.



C2YR-1BFP/F8068D

C.S Prop I (O) - 540



	That looks like my best BA prop choice correct?



Thanks in advance,

Robin

the please confirm is a new thing for Van's in 2008.

If you ask the MT crowd they'll tell you the 3 blade is better, if you ask 

me I'll tell you the three blade looks better, but so does the Aero 

composite at twice the price.. in the end it's all about money, the 2 blade 

may not be the nicest looking prop but it sure works well..

The three blade MT will get you a little better climb in exchange for a couple knots on the top end.  The Aerocomposite supposedly will give you improved climb and top speed.  The three blade will also be a little smoother but a well balanced two blade will be very nice also.  For the money the two blade is hard to beat.  That being said, I'm going with a 3 blade MT because I'll be coming off a grass strip most of the time and any improvement in climb performance is worth the extra expense and effort.

Okay Mike, do I read this correct, you say a custom painted 3 blade Aero

composite climbs better and will cruise comparably with the 2 blade

blended Hartzell at altitude.  But you are going with the less expensive

MT with great climb performance and slight tradeoff over the 2 blade

Hartzell once at cruise level.



Do tell me which RV-10s with 3 blade AeroComp are cruising with those

prideful 2 blades cause looks alone won't win my wife.  If price was no

object, it would clearly be a 3 blade AeroComp for me.  Just one look at

Mark Ritter's, Wayne Edgerton or Deems become the selling point. Are you

saying an AeroComp out performs Jim Ayer's MT?



These 2 blade Hartzell types are a hard group to sell to.

Thanks everyone,

I resolved some time ago the two blade / three blade decision for my

build.

I was mostly interested in making sure I was not accidently approving

the BA with the left handed countersunk under-plate with an internal

reverse flange.

I see Tim's prop code was SLIGHTLY different than mine:



Tim (from his site)	C2YR-1BF/F8068D

Mine			C2YR-1BFP/F8068D

Don't forget the 2 blade Aerocomposits Prop.  It gives the better climb and

top end speed and weighs less than the Hartzell.  According to them.  I have

yet to start the engine.

My last girl friend was slow but man was she a looker.   I seldom notice or fret about knowing I could be going a couple of knots faster if I had a two blade prop.  Not really convinced either prop (2 blade v. 3 blade) has that much of an advantage over the other so what it boils down to is the extra money worth the perceived (in my mind) sex appeal of a three blade prop.  I've gotten over the inferiority feeling of not having macho retractable gear.

LOL.  “If you want to be happy for the rest of your life, get a #$%^ women to be your wife”.  In 35 years I have never once hear anyone say 2 blades were sexy and keep a straight face.  There is something magical about a blade for every combustion event rather than a lopey vibration which roles through the airframe.  

   

At work its six blades wins over four blades every day.  Then some two blade driver says “yeh, but when you screw up and the engine stops, boy its more fun going down.”  Like Bob Hoover has always said  - “Fly the aircraft down to the final landing site and walk away”.  

   

I take it Mark your not biting on the 3 blade AeroComp cruise up with the 2 blade metal heads.  Like Jimmy Carter said “ I have lust in my heart for that Looker.”

So in essence, what you are saying is that you were faster than your last girlfriend. You may have gotten over the retractable gear issue, but what about the the real issue? Any inferiority there..

  

 So 2 or 3 blade? Porche or Prius

I once bit on a 4-bladed, scimitar'd Commander.  Had to be  dragged away from it.  New paint and all.  Great looking legs that  retracted....  But slow and could barely lift a full grown man with full  fuel.  But what a looker.  Oh, my.
