I have decided to get my 83 inch pitch 72FM Sensenich prop repitched to Vans updated standard of 85 inches.
The factory said any of their dealers can do it, but I got these responses from the two major AZ prop shops.
1. We don't do that any more.
2. I'm not sure, I'll get back to you. The last time we repitched an RV prop my asst. said he would quit if he had to do that again.
I could send it back to Sensenich PA, but was thinking shipping time and costs would be less if I could find a SW states prop shop.
So has anyone had a 180 HP Sensenich prop repitched at a shop in the SW and were you happy with the results? Or should I just use the factory and take a shipping cost and time hit?
If it's in the SW I'm sure I could squeeze a prop box into my Tiger a deliver it to a nearby airport.
