Hey Guys,



I just bought a Yak 55 M that has a MT 3 prop on it. Thinking about a MT9 or Whirlwind. Thoughts?

Whatever the other qualities of the two manufacturers might be, a critically

important issue as far as I am concerned is that MT propellers are fully

certificated. This means that they have to go through a rigorous testing

schedule, involving a very significant overspeed for quite a long time. I

say this with some feeling, having had propeller failure (with another

manufacturer of variable-pitch propellers) in which a counterweight came off

and removed half of one blade. I would not wish this on anyone, and very

fortunately I was overhead an airfield practising aerobatics and was able to

land quickly. But various instruments were broken, and the vibration quite

incredible.

Hi Jay,



I have been flying the Whirlwind 3 Bladed Prop since 1999 and upgraded to

their latest model (all composite) in 2014.  I fly a lot of formation and

Acro as much as the CJ can take.

They may have had some issues in the past but none for years and I had Zero

issues and actually, I Love this prop - not only it looks great, it performs

amazingly well.  There are quite a few flying in the U.S, you might want to

take a hop with a Whirlwind and you'll see what I am talking about.



If you'd like more details, call me off list.



 Not sure if you saw my youtube Product Evaluation video I made a couple

years ago about this prop but if not, here is the link to it:

If you are based in the U.S, I recommend, hands down, that you seriously

consider the Whirlwind...  They are based in Ohio and have a great customer

service.
