Hi Jim;
I just spent 2 days up in Deland FL at the MT dealership hanging out with Jurgen
the engineer. He offered me a price on the MT electric for my Lycoming 0-320
better than Van's price with an out the door on your airplane of $8300 for
the 2 blade. Could a group buy beat that?

Jim,
I could be interested, but for aerobatics, the hydraulic prop is supposed to
be preferable isn't it?
Is this difficult / impossible to fit on the LOM engine?
Bob (UK)
RV3B, 0-320-A2B, Pacesetter 68x69
12" spinner, long cowl
Inverted systems (if I can fit them in!)

Hi Jim;
I just spent 2 days up in Deland FL at the MT dealership hanging out with
Jurgen the engineer. He offered me a price on the MT electric for my Lycoming
0-320 better than Van's price with an out the door on your airplane of $8300
for the 2 blade. Could a group buy beat that?
Rob Ray
Hi Rob,
The group buy can beat Van's price, delivered to your door.
However, it won't install the propeller and governor on your aircraft.
Van's price delivered to the nearest assembly center is $7,750. Assembly
costs vary from $300 to $450, according to MT Propeller. Plus delivery to your
door.
Again, that's not out the door on the aircraft.
I'm trying to get an answer back from MT Propeller regarding assembled
delivery costs of the 2 blade propeller direct to the customer. Until I get an
answer back on direct delivery costs, I won't have a firm price.
I need 16 orders for the group buy. I have 8 people presently interested.
Without the group buy, (for a 2 blade propeller) I believe I can meet Van's
direct cost, except delivered assembled to the customers door. This would save
the $300 to $450 assembly cost plus a possible second shipping cost from the
assembly facility to the customers door.
A group buy should see an additional $300 to $400 savings for a propeller
delivered assembled to the customers door.
Again, until I have an answer back from MT Propeller on the 2 blade assembled
shipping costs direct to the customer, I won't have a firm price.
Hopefully, I'll have an answer by Monday morning.
For anyone that wants the standard MT Propeller offered by Van's Aircraft,
please order your propeller directly through them. (My lawyer required me to
say this. :-) )

Hi Jim;
I like your thinking. Count me in on the group buy and let me know if you need
anything up front. I have all the dimensions they need already recorded at MT
in FL, it should make it easy for them, and you. See ya!
