Hartzell Constant Speed Prices... OMG!!!
I just checked out the Vans pricing on these puppies. I am still in shock!
Weren't they a mere $8,000 or so not too long ago!
Now they are over TEN!

OIC!
That was for the composite one!
I am leaning towards the old fashioned metal one anyways...
Compact hub Constant-speed prop for (I)O-360 (180/200hp) 72"
Part Number = PROP C2YR-1BFP/F74972
Price = $6649.00
That ain't so bad I suppose... for a chunk of ALUMINUM!!!

Yeah, thats for the Composite ones. Look at the prices for the composite ones that fit the O-540 (RV10). That will put hair on your chest.
Ya know CJ, for a bit more than the cost of the Hartzell you can get the composite which is lighter and supposedly has a bit better performance.

Yes, I have looked at all the composites and I did belong to their yahoo! group while they went through their "hub-cracking" phase. I understand that is all behind them now.
I seem to still prefer a good old-fashioned METTLE prop!
With the -7, weight isn't a problem.
I DO like the "non-restricted" powerband of the plastic ones though!!!
Looks like I can't afford a counter-weighted engine anymore since the IO-390 got certified!
Now I am looking at the IO-375 from Bart.

Just curious what you're referring to here. I've always heard that -7s could be tail-heavy with a "light" (i.e., O-320 or straight-valve IO-360) engine - so a metal prop would required to keep the CG forward.

I was for the most part decided on the MT 2 blade prop. It is just beautiful. However American Propeller really has me leaning towards the 200RV. They seem to have a huge following without the problems of the older series prop. The problem for me though is that they are just not attractive. I love the squared off tips of the other props.

Well, kinda sorta. The best looking ones I have seen have had some custom paint to match them to the airframe.hydroguy2 wrote: Hey!....did you just call my prop ugly?......why I never...........
Do all of the 200RV props need a spacer or did you need one because of a different cowling, etc?
