Mary,

Can you tell us about the prop and the company. If you had any =
information
on how the prop has performed, its durability, etc. it would be =
appreciated.
Also, what has the company been like to deal with? I have heard enough
stories (good ole' DM Rob) about how MT won't admit the problem, or =
would
even kidnap your prop until you agreed to have it fixed their way.
=20
I'm not ready to buy my prop now, but I'm not really looking forward to =
just
one option and a company that has a mixed reputation for customer =
service.
So please tell us what you think.

We have about 300 hours on our Whirlwind prop---Nice people ! I have a
sneaky feeling that if enough genuine interest was shown--plus some
sales--that dirty ole money talks---he might get interested again in a
pusher prop !?
