Hi Guys
After a nose-over due to a bad landing and front wheel collapse, I am in the market for a new prop......amongst other stuff.
My plane was built in the USA in 2006 and now lives in South Africa on a grass/gravel strip.
I want to stay with the fixed pitch but have been advised to go for the vans recommended Sensenich ali prop due to it being lower maintenance.
I really like the look of the Catto 3 blade prop. It runs smooth and I can get it with the nickel leading edges.
I did a search for info but most threads seem to be old and I am not sure what development has taken place since.
So which way do I go? The feeling here in RSA is that maintenance on the Catto is more difficult.
Will the nickel leading edges prevent damage enough for me to warrant it for consideration?
Your input and advise will be appreciated.
