MT themselves don't like that prop! Aerodynamically it is not that
efficient; it is not suitable for hard aerobatics, but they recognise that
people buy it simply for its looks! They have no doubt that the best blade
is the - 29, which they normally recommend for these aircraft.

Be advised however, that the FW 190 Replica MT prop, while beautiful to look
at and indeed testosterone enhancing for those of us over 60, will cruise 5
knots slower than your old Chinese two blade on a 285 Housai. Also, it's a
speed brake. That said, I still love ours after 500 hours. Love polishing
the brass leading edges and just staring at it. Truly a work of art.

Dave-
I have the V-530c on my M14P CJ6. It is a great looking prop, compared to the V-530
and has proven to be a superior prop for smoothness, with marginal gains
in climb and deceleration. If there has been an improvement in speed it is in
the range of +2 knots.
Altogether I have been satisfied with the prop, as I was looking for improvements
in smoothness and looks. The slight performance improvements were a bonus.
Both propellers are manufactured by Whirlwind, but if you decide to order the 530C
through M14P Inc, they get a better return on their investment on that propellers
development.

UPDATE - got everything put back together, went surprisingly well. Did a leak
check with soapy water by pulling a few blades through and saw bubbles, so tightened
the check valve to compressor fitting, until I stripped the threads on
the compressor housing.
So, can it be heli-coiled or did I just kill the compressor?
Can't believe it, after all I went through, to blow it at the very end like that
- just beside myself.
And, any pointers on how best to avoid that in the future. Had a new set of crush
washers from Jill and just wanted the thing to seal up but no joy, figure
it just needed to be tightened up but apparently not as tight as I thought.
Thanks again.
