REFLECTOR: PUSHER PROP

[Jmbmitch33]

I need a hydrolic MT and the MT that I was using has been working fine for just over 500+ hours.  If yours is hydrolic, what would you take for me to sweep it off your floor??..lol.  I would like to call you if you could give me your number...

Thanks
Mitch

    Hello everyone, looking for a MT 3 blade prop for a LYC IO360....any advice on where to look without breaking the bank?......Or, does anyone have another brand they like other than MT??

    Thanks

  What type, electric or hydraulic?  Is the engine counterweighted?  I have invested over 18K in my mt for my IO-360-C1C over the past 8 years with still no workable prop.  It sits again on my hanger floor fresh from overhaul with new blades and that is where it will stay.  Even though it's zero time at this point, I could not sleep at night pushing it off on someone.  I have come to the conclusion that the 180' firing pulses on the 360 (200hp) without counterweights are to violent for the bearing/seal design of the mt as this is what fails after approximately 40-50 hours.
  Run Forest; Run!!
  A friend with a cozy running a IO-360 is running the Aerocomposit with good results.
