REFLECTOR:MT Props

[Chuck Jensen]

Dane, we gave up on "cheap" a long time ago.  Now, we're looking for
efficacy and customer support or anything that works.

I want to thank all the contributors on the MT prop issue. Obviously, no
simple answers.  My current status is I'm shipping the prop and hub to MT's
Deland, FL shop and they are going to assess the damage; both to the props
and my pocketbook.  Hopefully, it's something they can fix there.  If not,
then its a trip to Germany and I'll be shopping for something in the mean
time.  If they can fix it locally, then I'll wait 'em out.

I told them my prop seals don't leak presently and that I hope their "fix"
doesn't become a problem, which it apparently has for others.  Do seem to be
a violation of the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" rule but I guess we're
all addicted to better, new and improved.  Even when the improvement causes
new and enhanced problems that we didn't have before.

Yours cynically,
Chuck

GUYS AND (GALS?),

Just got a note from Aero Composites (http://www.aerocomposites.com/) 
saying they are moving ahead with a constant speed prop for our VELOs. 
Should have details available at OSH.

Won't be cheap, though...
