I have a second hand story of MT sending out the wrong prop to a customer that was installed, it 'worked', but could have been catastrophic. I won't repeat it since it isn't first hand, but all this does stick on ones mind.

I'm very happy with my MT and glad to be rid of the old Hartzell. The change took off 10 pounds and added a lot to my rate of climb.

Empty weight is 1393 lb., calculated from a weighing in 1993. Avcon O-360, front seats from a '75 172, back seats, and full interior.
