STC props for rocket

[bd32322]

Are there STC props for the rocket? MT propeller has props for the engine that is used in the rocket but on the cessna 320/414 airframe. It also has props for the m20k airframe but with the tsio360 engine. But it doesnt have a STC for the rocket engine on the m20k airframe.

I am guessing there is no way to put a different prop on? Or is there?

Call rocket engineering , but probably not....And I dont believe that any prop manufacturer will do the flight testing for a fleet of 100 or so airframes....

I'm sure if your pockets are deep enough there is   Whether you can get a return on value for something which has a cost with lots and lots of 0's at the end is another matter!

I looked into this a few years ago with Rocket and they advised me that the engine/propeller combination is the STC and there are no alternative propellers available.  Has this changed?  Maybe but I doubt it.

I'm not sure how the TC or STC reads, does it name the 500 series McCauley only? Because there are a few Hartzells, that go on a RAM conversion.....

Hartzell does. STC-SA00081SE Rocket Enineering

Didn't a rocket owner put a four blade prop on for a test flight?

I'm not sure. MT makes a 4 way prop for the rocket that is STC for it......... The rocket is backwards from any other mooney as far as props go. No other mooney prop will work. Because the rocket prop works backwards. Oil pressure to decrease pitch, not oil to increase pitch like all other mooneys.

if they can put a 4 blade prop on a screaming eagle then it should work on a rocket. i would buy an MT prop if they would make an stc for a rocket.
