Apache Prop not RV prop
Quote:
Looking at the prop data Type certificate: It weighs 66lbs (each) Its a feathering prop (that's why it weighs so much) Uses steel clamps hub/blade retention subject to an AD. :( Also, I know this the hard way, this prop over the many years has had clamp, hub and blade AD's: At min it has an AD for repetitive die penetrate and eddy current inspections. I slod my Apache before this AD came out, but recall the interval varies but its not a long period (250-500 hours). Even though we are experimental and need not meet the AD inspections, I honestly don't think this prop is good for RV's at any price, sorry no offense Sir. It is too heavy and feathering is not cool for a single engine plane. Bottom line this prop is not one of the many props recommended by Van's Aircraft. :( "Suitable for RV" Not to bust on your prop, but I think its better suited for a Piper Apache. I have a friend with a PA23 and will ask him if he is interested. He still uses the old props and just deals with the re-occurring inspections, since he did not spend the $16 GRAND for the new replacement props Hartzell offered a few years back. Suggest you find a Piper list to advertise, its not well suited for the RV. Good luck. If you find any HC-C2YK's with F7666 blades than that would be of interest to RV'ers. :) Respectfully George PS Welcome to the group, I see you just joined today. Are you building yet? |
