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.

He does have the 2 blade Hartzell and I have the 3 blade MT.
