Subject: | CATTO 3 bladed prop |
Is anybody flying a CATTO 3 bladed fixed pitch prop? I am thinking of
switching from my current SENSENICH 2 blade on my TR-4 with a Lycomming
O-360.

Ted,=0A=0AWe both seem to have been great at selecting all the aviation orp
hans.- We both =0Apicked a great aircraft, the KIS TR4 from a company tha
t no longer exists.- We =0Apicked a GREAT engine, the Superior XP360 from
a company that no longer exists.- =0AWe picked an engine management syst
em that is still in my mind the best from a =0Acompany that no longer exist
s and even though they were bought out by a company =0Athat does exist, the
y have orphaned the FADEC system.- Then there was the =0ABlueMountain EFI
S system that went out of business.- =0A=0A=0ASeems we are-good at pick
ing some great aviation gear but we seem to have =0Aproblems getting our pl
anes finished before everything becomes obsolete.- You =0Aand I know the
value of what you have and we are both aware of how much we-have =0Ainves
ted in our aircraft but that doesn't apply to everyone else.- Right now,
if =0AI were looking to start on a project, I would have to admit that I wo
uldn't be =0Ainterested in the KIS TR4 at any price, especially an orphaned
one.- I am afraid =0Athat the only way we will ever be able to get anyth
ing out of our planes is to =0Afinish them.- Even then, it will be diffic
ult to recoup any substantial =0Aadditional investment if needed to complet
e.- =0A=0A=0AThe market for a partially completed project, rather a KIS o
r any other kit =0Aplane, is never very good.- We know what we have done
and know the quality of =0Aour work but when anyone buys an incomplete proj
ect they must discount for the =0Aunknown of workmanship quality.- They k
now they-may find that some parts of the =0Aplane have been compromised b
eyond use and therefore must be able to acuire =0Athose parts from the manu
facturer.- If that manufacturer no longer exists, as =0Aous does not, the
y may be sorry out of luck and unable to complete their =0Aproject.- Thos
e facts have greatly reduced the value of our investment beyond =0Aeven the
normal discount for a partially complete project.=0A=0AI hate being negati
ve on this issue but I have faced that very reality myself.- =0AI either
finish it or lose almost everything I have put into it.- I don't know =0A
if I can help you or not but if you would like me to, I would be happy to a
dd =0Ayour project onto my website (which I have also been neglecting) and
see if it =0Acould generate any additional interest.- It still gets-pre
tty good-ongoing =0Atraffic every month and I just renewed it for another
year.- Put together a =0Acomplete set of photos documenting the project
and its current status along with =0Aany written narrative you would like t
o include.- I will add a section for your =0Aproject and highlight it for
anyone coming to my site.- I don't know if it will =0Ado any good but I
will give it a try if you will get me the details and the =0Aphotos.- Unl
ike other sites, I won't limit how many photos you put on or how =0Amuch yo
u want to document.- I don't have any limitations on how much disk space
=0AI use so I don't have to worry about that.- It will be for all practic
al =0Apurposes, your website.- Show and list all the parts and we will se
e if that =0Amight be a buyer among those who visit my site.- It could be
a big waste of time =0Abut-you don't have anything to lose, its free.=0A
