Does anyone have experience with the McCauley prop on the Rocket?
I am looking to avoid problems with the Hartzel prop hub. The A suffix
hub has been condemned and replacement is required by the all new B
suffix hub. I personally think it is just a matter of time before they
start cracking too. I also don't like the 4 g restriction and the "no
gyroscopic maneuvers" the company has placed on the hub. I guess MT may
have the advantage here. Any thoughts?
In search of the best prop,
Jim

Perfect propeller?
Kirby Chambliss was using a Hartzell composite propeller (about $35k) on his
Edge 540. Then he changed to the MT Propeller counterweighted blade aerobatic
propeller.
For the F-1 Rocket or Harmon Rocket 2:
3 blade MT Propeller. MTV-9-B/198-52
No aerobatic restrictions. No life limit on any components. 3 blade MT
Propeller/spinner weighs 12 pounds less than a "J" 2 blade Hartzell
propeller/spinner. Exceptionally smooth. Equivalent performance to the Hartzell
2 blade
propeller.
MT Propeller counterweighted propeller (High pitch (Low RPM) with low oil
pressure) also available. Recommended for aerobatics where momentary oil
pressure loss is probable. (Same blades & same performance.)
However, this probably isn't an unbiased comparison. :-)
