G'Day All,

  

 A friend of mine asked me if I know anything about  the Whirl Wind Vped Russian 2 blade V-530 prop blades as he is thinking of  ordering a set for his 18T.

 I know of them and have had a look at their  site.

  

 Have any of you fitted these blades and what was  the result? 

 Aussie is a long way from the U.S. to buy something  like these blades without feedback as we know of no one in Australia that has a  set.

 Any feedback will be greatly  appreciated.

 Thanks and cheers,

  Chris.

Chris,



I've had a set on my CJ-6 for years.  They are the best as far as I'm concerned.  The finished blade is beautiful, and much better balanced.  You will notice the smoothness right away.  The one piece nickel leading edge, stands up well to abrasion.  The back of the blade take the beating of course, but whatever they use seems to stand up to the abrasion there pretty well.  I've always been very pleased with the way the prop cleans up and I gotten a lot of comments about how neat the prop looks.  Whirl Wind does a great job, and I've never heard a bad word about the recondition V-530

M-14P.com also has hollow carbon fiber blades that look just like the Russian ones, and I think Whirlwind makes those as well. Certainly the re-done blades by Whirlwind are great (and pretty). The GT blades are also wonderful. Lots of options for the Russian hub.

Chris:

 

I have had two sets of blades serviced by WW - and I agree with Pappy - excellent workmanship and a very fine finished product.  I have had two issues - on one set the top coat on back of blades peeled off fairly soon after we installed them.  WW redid the blades no questions asked - and covered shipping.  Also - the back of the blades do get nicked up quite a bit - could be a function of where we primarily fly from, but I thought the original 530's held up ever so slightly better in this area.

 

Overall I believe you get very good value for the service and I would not hesitate recommending WW to you.
