REFLECTOR: MT Price List

[Fred Marconi]

  MT prop price seems not to have changed much.  I paid what Scott Baker quotes close to four years ago.

    The price seems to escalate with each email post.  You can expect to pay somewhere around $10,000 for a fully assembled and delivered MT propeller (for 6-cyl Lycoming and Continental engines; less for the smaller models) when purchased through Velocity.  There are no duty charges.  The price does not include a hydraulic governor, which costs $1,400.
    And again - I love Catto - but comparing the performance from any fixed pitch propeller to a constant speed is like comparing apples to oranges.  You may, or may not be happy with the performance of a fixed pitch propeller - but I have yet to see one satisfied customer with a fixed pitch on an XL.

      Plus the cost to put it on and balance it.  Total will run right around $16,000 ( for the big engines) if you buy it in California or from the factory.  CA tax will be included because of there being a distributor in CA.  From over-seas there is a duty on it.  That Catto fixed pitch is looking better each day. $1700.00 and a 30lb weight savings.  He is building mine as I write.  I will have it in three to four weeks.  Also $8K is to much to have the blades replace or fixed on the MT, as they say.  They don't repair they replace.  I could buy a number of Catto props for that cost, one for all seasons and still have the performances I need in the kind of flying I do.  I may take a couple of hundred more feet to take off but on the top end I know I will do better.  
      Talking to him yesterday he said he has been changing out the MT's on the RV's for awhile now and they love them.  Most just say they are loosing about 100fpm on climb but are getting a lot better top end.  Take off run they find little differences.  I'll let you know when it is flying.  Good or bad.

        >> Prices DO NOT include the governor.<<

        Or the roughly $1,000 in shipping and customs costs.
