WOW! what a quality piece! It was made from 48 1/16th" laminations. yes thats right! 48 laminations. Clear urethane leading edges and shipped to my door for $530. In my opinion it's one of the best props out there for that price. The quality rivals that of a certified wood prop. www.tn-prop.com DJ Vegh ----- Original Message ----- From: Ken Hannan Subject: Pietenpol-List: prop info --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: "Ken Hannan" Hegy props http://www.flygliders.com/hegy_wood_props.htm has any buddy purchased a prop from this company?

It is birch and is a very beautiful piece of workmanship. Mr Hegy and I decided a 72-42 would be the most efficient for a Piet with a 65 Continental. We are happy with the performance. His price was $500 plus Fed Ex. Corky in La By the way, on another subject, have any of you noticed the total absence of any discussion by our leaders,????????????????????????, Aopa, Eaa, Aarp, Naacp, or any other of the nationals who are so dedicated, with the help of our annuals, to helping us with all kinds of small problems, on the proposed Sport Pilot ruling. Someone somewhere decided to sweep in under the rug for awhile. Something's going on and I really don't like the scent of it. Better get our Congressional address book out again and lick some stamps Corky in La again, running out of time ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 09:26:23 PM PST US From: Gary Gower Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: prop info --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: Gary Gower Ken, A friend of mine and pioneer (here) of homebuilding told me about Mr Hegy... Since the first prop I bought from him they performed as spected. Was the only brand of prop I bought... (the trike came already with an IVO since we got it). I got 5 propellers from Mr Hegy in 10 years for diferent projects, I only got one (the forth one) that didnt had enough climb, talked to Mr Hegy by phone and He asked me to send it back to have it repitched or replaced, free of charge... I told Him it was more expensive for me with the customs charges and international airshipping, to send it back than to buy him a new propeller, so I kept it and send him a check (a friends USA bank) for the new prop (was my problem and choise, not his)... He send the new one and never cashed the check... Since he passed away I carved my last two propellers, I always wanted to give it a try... Is a great experience to build the plane, build the engine and carve the propeller... Well the 1/2 VW engine didnt had the power at our 5,000 ft ASL grass strip, and was changed fo a Rotax 447, and of course another prop was carved... By the way I used the Cluton's book. Hope his grandson learned and loves the prop carving, will be great to have the same quality back... Saludos Gary Gower.

For a long time, I've been considering building a Scimitar prop, using the method described in the Eric Cluton's guidlines. Do you know anyone that built this Scimitar prop ?? Chuck Gantzer
