After 13 Months...

[smithhb]

My Catto prop has been shipped! I must admit, I was starting to get worried. Pictures to follow.

Cool dude!

You're gonna love that prop!!

As I stated a few days ago, after a 13 month wait, with a $1250.00 deposit floating out there somewhere, the PO called me on Friday morning that a propeller had arrived for pick-up. I'm not sure how they knew it was a propeller.


I carefully unpacked it and was pleased with how well it was packaged.



Had to check out the paint... I'm using the same paint as used on the HondaJet. I hope folks will be able to tell us apart!


Check out the prop label...


I temp-installed the prop and tried the spinner on for size. I had Craig cut the spinner for me and he did a perfect job... (Probably saved me 30 hours and a wobbly spinner).

I'm not sure how they knew it was a propeller.

Maybe the words "CATTO PROPELLERS" in the return address were a clue.

NIce Lookin' Prop!

That looks really nice. My only reservation regarding those props are their ability to handle rain. Do we have any data yet regarding how well they hold up?

I paid extra ($30/blade) to have clear prop guards installed. Craig claims you can blow through rain at 2700 rpm now. Time will tell.

[Spike]

If that ends up being true I will be purchasing one. That was the only remaining concern that I really had regarding the Catto props. Thanx for the info!!

I am going to have that done to mine as well.

Looks great! Can't wait to get mine someday!
