two blade prop vs 3 blade aeros prop

Postby in the sticks » Mon May 12, 2014 1:03 pm

i have a rotax 503 with an E gearbox and have a problem with my aeros props that we just cant seem to get them balanced perfectly.At full revs i get a vibration.I have been thinking of fitting a Pieter de necker 2 blade prop onto the plane.Will the performance be just as good??Ihave sent the aeros props off for balancing twice and just cant seem to get them right.Anyone using the two blade De necker are you happy with it???

I converted from Aeroprop to PProp! Great decision. Great torque and good fuel efficiency. Call Pieter on 011 793 5235. Tell him I sent you! :wink:

If you want a wood prop I may have one for you. As good as new.

Zero ate one for too 7 double ate too sex (**)

You also have another option to fit a locally produced 3 blade composite NC prop. I am using one and it is excellent.
