Same experience at AOPA last year. My wife mentioned on the spot the same thing, why would I want to spend energy when there is a prop that has been tested for years and they are more open to discuss than the Hartzell folks.. BTW this was also based on asking for the 2 blade aluminum information and getting semi blown off with- "it’s the best prop out there.. period!" but did not seem interested in expanding on why? which was what I was asking for.
I really like their prop and I know that Van's is considering it based on feedback on testing (maybe Rob's data?) but unless the price is equal or competitive and Rob can expand on his flight to OSH with the 3 blade that shows it is equal or better than the MT, I'll be going MT. The wife wants 3 blade, so no need to sell that to her.
Rob;
How about that review on the the prop for your flight to OSH and any updates on your AFS you covered at OSH?

Interesting thing on the Hartzell 3 blade, having heard that they would have pricing available at OSH I stopped by their booth to find out how much fully expecting it to be in the 10-15k range. I was basically told they had no information and if I wanted to put it on a RV-10 I would have to get everyone to bug Van’s to carry it otherwise I was out of luck. Easier solution to me is sticking with an MT, no bugging Van’s and plenty of people from MT willing to discuss. J Guess that’s why Hartzell usually had a bunch of employees standing around talking amongst themselves every time I walked by.

I look forward to SMAs success in convincing VAN to consider a second engine option other than the Lycoming IO-540. I will say prayers and wish them luck for our brethren over the pond that have a hard time with 100LL avgas. I am adding Rob Hickman's 3 blade composite Hartzell to those prayers as well.
I was just getting all excited about the Lycoming TEO-540-A ie2 engine having about the same chance. I was also sorry to hear that John Delamarter is no longer with Thunderbolt.
Let's start posting about all the new vendor products to get things rolling again.
