MT Prop in Florida does not recommend anyone other than the factory. I
called them.
Typical mt B.S.. Doug himself @ mt Florida recommended Jim Ayens @
805-795-5377 in So Cal. to me as to save shipping the whole prop to Florida from the
west coast. Jim currently has my mt along with several other overhauls. My
hub was sent to mt Florida who replaced some bearing races and returned it to
Jim for re-assemble.
This goes along with the constant five years of problems I have had with mt.
I recently purchased the "new and improved" Velocity blades for use on
non-counterweighted engines. After two attempts under warranty , mt has not been
able to stop grease leaking from my prop since overhaul two years ago due to
harmonic cracking of one of the blades. This is the case that brought the
"restricted RPM" issue up. mt told me the grease leaks were caused from
operating out of the restricted range(since the first start-up?), and will do
nothing about it. I have NEVER operated out of the supposed restricted
range(what would be my motivation in doing so?), and now feel there is NO RPM range
safe for operation with a non-counterweighted engine. Now mt wants to charge
me for new bearings, and some blade damage caused by vibration damage on the
exchange blades after 35 hours of operation since warranty overhaul. This is
now getting to the litigation stage.
Good thing I kept my Performance prop.
