No WW prop discount at Vans...
Just on a wild hair I sent an email to Vans asking if they would consider Whirlwind props for their engine/prop combo discount. The answer from Gus was just what I expected, they have no intention of selling WW props because they are too expensive and a "niche market", so the discount won't apply.

I keep hoping to find another group buy on WW props on this site. I wasn't ready when they had the last one but I am now (and I have cash n hand).

Contact American Propeller, they were responsible for the last group buy. Outstanding service. Ask for Bob Honig or Keith(i think). I think they sold something like 70 props during the last group buy in 2009.

Brian, Thanks. I called Kevin (not Keith) and chatted some with him. He said Bob Honig is interested in doing another group buy, provided there is interest out there. It is by no means a certainty that this will happen.
Now before DR or one of the moderators feels the need to remind me of the group buy rules, I specifically told Kevin that I was simply letting him know there was "some interest" out there for another group buy of the WW props. If they wanted to offer a group buy, they need to make the arrangements with Doug Reeves, and that I am bowing out.
If the group buy happens, it will have to be based on an agreement among Ameritech, Whirlwind, and Doug Reeves. I understand Doug's rule, the reason for it seems rational and reasonable, and I'll abide by it. Letting Ameritech know of interest in a group buy doesn't seem to violate the rule

What was the group price, and was it the 200RV? Pm if need be, I may be interested.
There was a website floating around, where someone did a really good comparison on props to the WW, anyone know where the link is? Curious what the performance gains are over a Hartzel BA.
