Here's a quote for an MT I just got.. all most half the price.
Hi Scott,
I have an MT Propeller similar to the MTV-12-B/LD168-101b 3 blade
hydraulic propeller listed for the Velocity.
Is your engine set up for a hydraulic Cs propeller?
List price for this propeller is $9,850 to be delivered from Germany.
If this is the correct propeller for your Velocity, I can offer it to you
for $8,150 assembled in Southern California.
I will check with MT Propeller to make certain I am quoting the correct
propeller for your Velocity.
There is also an MT elec. CS propeller available for your engine, if you
are not set up for the hydraulic CS propeller.
Let me know which will work best for you.
Where are you located (city, state)?
I would like to be able to provide you with an assembled and delivered
price, if you are not in Southern California.
