Guys,
I heard a rumour that Aero Composites (the propeller manufacturer) is no longer trading. Can anyone please deny or confirm this? If true this is very bad news.
Best wishes to all,
Rodger

Confirmed.
AeroComposites sold their IP to MacCauley & the firm is consulting to MacCauley on their development of composite prop offerings.
Whirlwind propellers uses Maccauley components & will provide "custom" support. http://www.whirlwindaviation.com/index.asp
I had them (Bill) re-hub an AeroComposite prop (3300) & it's now installed on my 10. It's now "considered" a Whirlwind prop & is supported. Bill was very complementary of the blades. And, I picked-up 2 kts in pre & post speed tests. I was amazed so I ran the post speed test 15x.

Weighed the ACS and it's 52.2# with McCauley 4" hub (same size as Hartzell). Hartzell support told me their 2 blade is 52#. No difference between the two, weigh-wise.
