It seems that following an in-flight failure of an Arplast propeller, two disgruntled pilots sued the company. After much too-ing and fro-ing the appeal court at Limoges found for the plaintiffs and imposed punitive damages against Arplast. If you have a moment to spare you can read the court transcript here: http://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/affich...7415&fastPos=1 Following this, the owners immediately shut up shop. Their website, telephone and fax numbers are now all discontinued. A sad end to a good product.

Regards Kevin Following the loss of a very long trial, Arplast was placed in receivership. Alain Petit, founder and boss Arplast, one of the few industry professionals who will not be content to sell but will be personally involved in the development of ULM particular via the competition for nearly 40 years, threw in the towel at the age of 71. As for the after-sales service thousands of propellers that rotate, a welcome solution is about to be announced.
