Yes, I do. You will notice there is no specifics on structural testing
AND clearly no pricing. He avoids posting ANY retail prices. The
blades are $4000 EACH. So you're looking at $8000 replacement blades
with no hub. Here is a copy of my last email to Alessandro. He has not
answered any of the questions in this latest email below. So he decides
to post some initial test data but yet refuses to provide any structural
technical specifications including destructive testing results. He's
the email....verbatim. I think you'll agree with what I wrote in the
email.
"Dear Alessandro,
To be very candid with you, no, the price is not getting more
attractive. You must understand how the vast majority of Yak 52's
(including those with V530 propellers) are flown here in the US. They
are not used for aerobatics other than maybe "gentleman's aerobatics"
which does not require an expensive set of blades. Most Yak52's are
flown from runways (both grass and hard surface) that are 2000 feet or
more. Probably less than 1-2% of all the Yak 52's in the US are flown
off of "short" runways. Thus, the market for the GT blades to fulfill a
shorter runway takeoff requirement is maybe 5 total airplanes. Not much
of a market.
As I have said before in my emails, advertise the blades AND the price
for EACH blade on Barnstormers. Barnstormers ads are almost free.
There is no doubt you will receive inquiries. But inquiries do not
generate revenue. Please remember that here in the US the total market
is about 275 Yak 52's. Most of the other types of airplanes (not all of
course) with M14P and PF engines are either aerobatic aircraft with MT-9
propellers or slow speed, high lift aircraft like the Wilga which really
have no use for expensive propeller blades.
I have an idea. Why don't you tell me how many sets of blades your
market research has determined you will sell here in the US by aircraft
type and why you think you are going to sell that quantity of blades and
over what period of time? By the way, we have a company here in the US
that offers a complete overhaul of the V530 paddle prop blades including
new nickel single piece leading edge and complete stripping and
fiberglass recovering and precision balancing for $2100. "
Best regards,
Dennis
