I'd be very interested to see how the Catto compares to the Sensenich in controlled testing. Unfortunately, the cost to get one to Australia with the current exchange rate, tax, freight and other charges would be at least $7,000AUD.

Wow!
At more than twice the price of the Sensenich, it should come with a money back guarantee that it will be faster and climb 30% better.....

Just wondering...Has anyone installed the 3 blade Whirlwind on an RV-12? I put one on my neighbor's S-7 and the smoothness was much improved. I didn't get any info on the speed/climb however.

Catto 3 Blade prop for Rotax 912
Hello. I see that Catto is now offering the 3 blade fixed pitch prop for a Rotax 912 ULS. Has anyone tried it, and would like they offer comparisons to the 2 blade Sensenich adjustable prop? Thanks.

Like it!
Wondering about performance results. Me too on the request to Van's to include this as an option in the standard kit if performance is equal or better than the current offering. I'd happily let Van's keep the adjustable prop, get the Catto and pay an additional 2-2.5 K. Hope that Van's will test this prop and find that it is worthy of the 12.
