REFLECTOR: Propeller

[John Youngblood]

Hello Rene',

I ordered an AeroComposites Prop at Sun N'Fun last March.  It's a  
3350-P, 70" for a Continental 550.  Due date was in September.  Harry  
at the factory says they had delays with their vendors.   
AeroComposites "farms" out a good deal of their work.  My blades are  
complete and the hub is out for heat treat.  So, another couple of  
weeks to complete the parts and then another couple of weeks at  
AmericanPropeller in California for assembly and paint.

I estimate if no more delays come up, the prop will be at least two  
to three months late.  Fortunately I still have other stuff to finish  
up on my XLRG before I leave the ground.

Let's hope the "vendor delays" and "manufacturing glitches" don't  
affect the quality of the product!

Let me know when you receive you prop.

Good luck,

John
