| Subject: | Hartzell 2 blade or 3 blade |
The difference through Van's is $10k. I would like to buy the 3 blade but I'm having
a hard time with the $10k difference. Any feedback between these 2 for the
IO-540 on the 10 would be appreciated.
Thanks

From what I've read here, the 3-blade is not as efficient as the two
blade. And there is the $10K.
However, on the plus side it's damn sexy looking sitting on the ramp. I
went with the two blade ...... hope to fly this fall.

I have the MT 3 blade and have been flying for 8 1/2 years. I just paid big bucks
for a prop overhaul. Ivan Kristensen flew me back to Mississippi to reinstall
the prop and then we returned home in loose formation. Same power settings
and fuel flow he had about 8 knots on me. Save the $10K would be my advice. It
does look sexy sitting on the ramp and it might climb a bit better, but pretty
sure not $10K worth!
PM me if you're interested in talking more about my experience.

I agree. They both look just about the same at 200mph. Use the $10k for fuel so
your plane doesn't sit. I've seen way too many planes that sit most of the year.
I don't think the hangar cares whether your prop is sexy or not. Do yourself
a favor and go 2-blade and make the cowl easier to take off too.
Just my $.02!

I have the MT 3-blade prop and love how smooth the ride is, but would save
the money and go 2-blade if I had to do it all over again. Plus, the lower
cowl is a PIA to remove with the 3-blade prop.

Three blade good for climb. Two blade good for cruise. RV10 climbs just fine with
two blade. Spend the $10k on gadgets.

Are you saying Ivan had 8kts indicated or 8 kts true over your speed? Am I
reading you correctly that Ivan has the 2 blade Hartzell, in comparison to
your MT? I don't know anyone with the Hartzell carbon fiber 3 blade. Would
be very interested in comparison between the Hartzell 3 blade and the MT.
The MT is about $6-7K cheaper than the CF Hartzell, and I very much like
the smoothness, as well as the lighter wt over the 2 blade aluminum. I have
time in behind both the 2 blade Hartzell and more behind the MT. Nothing
wrong with the 2 blade, but my CFO wanted 3 blade, so I went along. The
price delta for the MT vs 2 blade aluminum isn't nearly as great as the
delta for the composite Hartzell. Allegedly the composite props are less
likely to cause internal engine damage if there is a prop strike, but I've
not seen any evidence one way or the other.
No question the 3 bladed props make it significantly more difficult to
remove the lower cowl.
