REFLECTOR: Catto Prop

[Andy Millin]

Folks, I have ordered and just receive a Prince P-Tip propeller.  It is
fixed pitch.

I ordered this prop because my friend Quint Daniels, Velocity serial number
12, has been running one for years.  He loves it.  He has tried others and
keeps coming back to the prince.

Lonnie Prince makes a beautiful prop.  He makes 2 and 3 blade props.  Wood
core, carbon fiber wrap with leading edge protection.

I have not flown yet, but I can say my prop is a work or art.

Andy

And things are worse now that Clark at Performance Props has announced that
he is going into semi retirement and will not be building as many props.
 
I am really worried that we are down to basically ONLY ONE three bladed
fixed pitch prop supplier for our Velocities.  And a lots of IO540 folks are
using Cattos now too.  The RV folks have also "discovered" the Catto!

	Tec,
	 
	Cato is a small shop that turns out top of the line props and he
gets backed up.  Give Craig a call and see what his turnaround looks like.
I know he is looking for a numeric control  full automatic machine.
