|
Catto Propeller:
|3-Bladed Wood/Glass Composite
|Propeller for RV-8
|66" Diameter x 76" Pitch
|0-360 180HP(at)2700RPM
|Top Speed at Target RPM-212mph(at)2800rpm
|4.375" Finished Propeller Thickness
|7" Diameter Prop Flange |SAE-2 Pattern, 1/2" Bolts and |3/4" Lugs
Delivery Info:
Prop ordered: 8apr2006 via paypal
Prop Delivered: 17feb2007
Initial delivery estimate from Catto: at least 6 months out
Initial delivery estimate gleaned from RV list archive search: 8 – 12 months
Actual delivery: (at)10 months
Communications: (electronic mail, I never phoned)
Initial “I want it!” – great
“Are we there yet emails” before estimated delivery – not so great
“Are we there yet emails” after estimated delivery but before actual delivery– ok
Follow up question regarding paint used on prop after delivery - great
My Opinion:
I am satisfied as I ordered early and I was not overly burdened by unrealistic expectations as to when I would get an extremely popular custom made propeller from essentially a one man operation.
