Prop Strike

As far as I know Hartzell only Offers a composite for 20R’s an 20TN’s an it is a great propeller, except the Price tag.

MT makes a good propeller an it’s lite weight which always helps on the nose of a plane, but the lack of North American support an the fact that none of them can hold their own fluids in is a deal breaker.

MT like a McCauley uses the same blade pocket design(early MT’s actually used McCauley hubs years ago) but weather it’s the type of grease or the Oring Compound MT utilizes in that Union, they are prone to leak in short order.

Well that sucks. Or blows in this case. And just when i was looking at the lead times so as to get it by next annual now this data makes me pause as my current prop does not leak and i would not be happy to spend that kind of money and have a leaking prop hub.

Interesting but it must not affect all MT props as I have had no issues with the prop slinging grease in the 2 years now that I've had mine.  I wonder if it is tolerances or if there was a fix after this issue was seen in the field.  Overall I'm very happy with the MT prop performance and looks.

i had an MT 2 blade on a Husky with no issues.....
