I went with the metal prop so I could fly while the MT was being overhauled. When it was returned I decided I would keep the metal prop and sell the MT. I plan to fly to gravel runways which would not be good for my MT. Robert

Bill, While I did not quite get book speeds on my 10 with the MT prop, The rate of climb was dramatically better with my blended airfoil metal 2 bladed prop. Also the rate of decelleration when I throttled back took some adjusting to with the metal prop. I estimate a 5-7 Kt improvement in a/s with the metal prop and a 500 FPM loss of climb . I fly out of Ruidoso. I thought I needed the MT for a greater rate of climb, but the metal prop has plenty of climb power at the 6800 ft airport.

I recently replaced my 3 Blade MT prop on my RV10 with a metal prop. I had the MT prop overhauled at the factory shop in Deland,Florida. It is a complete overhaul to new specs. It is in the shipping crate ready to go. I have all the paper work including the prop logbook entry showing the overhaul done. I am offering it for sale at $8000 including backing plate and nose bowl ready to go on your IO540 engine. You can reach me at 361 533 2383.I am located at KCRP.[/b]

??? Isn't the 2 blade longer? I would have guessed the 3 blade would be better for gravel.

Thanks - I have gravel right in front of my hangar on a grass strip - I pull it out to the grass to start and I shut down in the grass. Even with the shorter blades on the three blade....

Robert,
Having flown both propellers on the same plane, how do you compare them?

The 2 blade is longer but if the metal blade is damaged in some remote place an a&p can file it out. If the metal edge on the MT is damaged it cannot be filed. So I would be grounded.

Of the props Van's offers, the Hartzell 2 blade is 80", 3 blade
composite 78"; and the MT 3 blade is 76".

Robert: Thanks for your reply. If you expect this to happen again you should have someone show you how to file the prop yourself. Of course there are limits as to how much material you can remove. Be interesting to see how this works out long term: Frequent filings near the end of the longer Hartzel, eventually bringing the blades below service limits; or rarer hits on the shorter MT but then need to go to the factory for repair.
