REFLECTOR: Vesta props

[Scott Baker]

The factory plans to evaluate a Vista propeller pretty soon.
There are no Vista propellers running on any Velocity aircraft, nor for that matter on any direct drive Lycoming or Continental engines.  The propellers that are in service are running on installations with reduction drives.

  Is there anyone out there now using the Vesta Inc. three blade props on their Velocitys
  I saw them at OSH and they looked great related to how they were put together verses the MT. 
  Like having roller taper bearing with backup thrust bearings. Much better then the ball bearings used in the MT.  Just the way they are put together seem so much better.  They do look and are a little heavier then the MT but if better it's worth the weight.  They also have an electric type with full feather feature.  A little less in price but not dealing with import issues that bring it down a little either. 
  Would like some feed back on these if anyone is using them
  Dave
