REFLECTOR: MT props

[Dave Philipsen]

Just my two cents worth (or maybe I should say .2 cents!) - I just 
bought a Velocity with 200 hrs. on it and the MT CS prop with an 
IO360-A1A engine.  It's a hydraulically operated prop as opposed to the 
electric.  So far, I have put less than 20 hours on the plane since June 
but the prop has been performing well.  I see no signs of leaks or any 
other problems for that matter.  The previous owner made no mention of 
past problems (but, of course, why would he?).  Anyway, maybe my 
experience is not the norm but I just thought I'd throw it out there for 
what it's worth.  I'll keep the group updated as the months go by.
