[Andrew Ellzey]

Dave,
 
How far away are you to giving everyone feed back on your new Vista prop's performance? Also how was your experience with the Vesta company so far?

Mac I got my Vesta prop yesterday.  Looks great,and I can use my MT spinner it looks like with a little mod.  Or you can buy their spinners for $600.  I ordered the hydro type but you can buy one with electric pitch control as well.  With the electric you can get beta as well.
  
The blades are all glass, no wood in them.  E-glass and S-glass with high temp epoxy. Came in a lager plywood box.

The cost is right right around half the price of a MT. And they are built in the good old USA.  NJ No inport duty cost or having anyone to put it together for you before you get.  It comes dirrect to you all put together.

Vesta also is putting out an overhaul manual for them so the builder can work on it as well. As you can see from the MT props it don't take a brain surgeon to work on them. Yes some skill is required but no big deal.
  
They also put out a vibration checker that you mount on the prop and read it in the cockpit via blue tooth.  They will be getting this out to any one that buys their props if they feel they have a vibration problem.  They put it out on a loan. 

So far I'm real pleased but flight testing will tell the whole picture.

I  just completed overhaul of my prop .myself
After 5 years and 500 hours the blades were in bad shape.the blades and the seals were leaking grease 
We used special snap ring pliers, removed the blades and Catto restored like brand new.
M.T in Florida overhauled the hub and installed the new steal inserts.
American prop in California supplied all the parts including the new part number over size blade O ring seals
that are used with new steel hub inserts.
 It is back on the IO 540 Velocity XL no leaks, looks new and operates normal.
If I can help any one call me at (775)2469364
