I talked  with Scott Baker today and he said that the MT CS prop is what the 
factory  is recommended and their not having the problems with blades since 
MT  redesigned them, and the seal problems are  cured.




Really, I spent over $5,000 out of my own pocket to buy the "new and  
improved" blades for my prop on my IO-360.  Same crap as the old  blades.  After 40 
hrs, #1 blade is so loose, and the bearings are beat out  that it will not 
change pitch, and leaks grease.  This caused me to  complete a flight in cruise 
pitch, and I am now putting my Performance prop back  on.
 
The mt will never go back on.  300hrs on the prop, 8 removals due to  
warranty issues, and over $18,000 spent so far.   
 
I will be fighting a battle again with MT, which will probably lead to a  law 
suit this time as the new blades that I was assured would prevent the  
bearing/grease seal problems have not, and are no different than the old.   I have 
had it with them.  I always here from mt, " we never have had this  problem 
before", or, "your running electronic ignition", or "you have high  compression 
pistons and that is the problem".  How many horse power do  those Extras put 
through the props.
 
I would not recommend a mt at lease for the 4 bangers.
 
Run Forest, Run!!
