I would have purchased from Whirlwind in El Cajon, CA at Gillespie Field. I put a 3 blade on my race modified HIO360-C1D6 This is the same type of Prop Wayne Handley used on his piston driven Raven. They have been around for 9 or 10 years. I would have also considered Hoffman. BTW mine is on a Glasair 1-RG located in Ogden, UT. I have had it up to 210 Kts true so far, only been flying it a few months. Also, I enjoyed your Alien story. Cool man. Did you build it? BWB Yes I did, took 19 years with a 10 year hiatus in the middle due to a new business ,marriage and 4 kids. Damn, I am sure glad to hear you tell that. Maybe there is hope for me finishing my project some day when life quits getting in the way.

wrote: Speaking solely about the mechanics of the blade and hub (I haven't looked very closely at their actuator and its system), in my opinion the AeroComp is a vastly superior product. This is not to say that MT makes a bad product, they don't, and they have an enviable product history. However, in my opinion, AeroComp has a more robust design, is using a much more sophisticated manufacturing process, and has some impressive test results in the areas of both product strength and performance. The only area that is yet a great unknown for AeroComp is how durable is their product? Time will tell, but based upon the other aspects of their design, I'd wager that they've got longevity nailed as well. Money not being an issue, I'd hang a pair of AeroComp's on my plane and very well may now that they make a pusher in addition to the tractor. Dave Thanks Dave. It is rare that I ever get anything out of this ng. I appreciate your candid evaluation. Thanks again. Bill |

I have never been one to give up on anything and I am getting too damn old to start now. I will finish it even if I can't afford to keep and fly it afterward. Thanks for your support.

You been building that for so long, I almost forgot what you are building. How far along are you? BWB All the glass work is finished, the seats are finished, got my engine (XP-IOF360), wings have been fitted, have the Blue Mtn EFIS. Need to finish sanding, painting, propeller, and radio stack. I need about $20k to finish but have a shortage of money and time to work on it. Had to put a new roof and siding on the house last year while unemployed. Took a big hit on my funds.

Do you just want minimal radios to get in the air, or are you saving up for the super stack that the plane deserves? What I want is the stack that the plane deserves but would settle for the minimum in good quality radios. Right now though, both are out of the question.
