Just trying to get the word out there, these are very nice blades. I have a set on my Yak 52.

Yep, they do look good.



I am running a set of GT blades on our Yak 18T.

Here in Australia we have had a very wet season up North in country that is 

designated remote and is normally as dry as hell.

This vast area has had the best rainfall for 20 years.



We decided to spend 10 days flying around this area and combining this with 

a fly-in up north before I have to have a shoulder op.

Absolutely spectacular with so much water and we have a Lake Eyre that is 

huge and is fed by 3 rivers which have been in flood.

So much so that there are charter operators flying in from all over 

Australia and 1 guy has established charter operations near the lake 

operating about 5 X 210's, Stationar and 2 Airvans.

I have not done my sums yet, but total flying time was 1458 min,  24.3 

hours.

The GT prop without any doubt at all performed just great.

Better speed and a better takeoff performance with a full load out of remote 

strips on cattle stations and so on.

I am very pleased.

I would suggest that the Whirlwind would offer a similar performance and 

both are worth looking at.



It probably is not before time.
