John,

Looks great! -Eric
PIQUA, Ohio - July 24, 2006 - Hartzell Propeller Inc.
announced today that it has received FAA certification
for its new ASC-II™ second generation Advanced
Structural Composite propeller system. Hartzell's
ASC-II is the first FAA certified advanced structural
composite propeller developed specifically for the
general aviation market.
Hartzell's ASC-II is the result of the company's
nearly 30 year experience in the design and
manufacture of advanced structural composite
propellers. The Hartzell ASC-II is an optimized design
mated to a proprietary, Hartzell-developed
manufacturing process. The result is an advanced
structural composite propeller that delivers all of
the advantages provided by Hartzell's first generation
of composite propellers - low weight, low inertia, and
low life cycle costs - while minimizing the major
disadvantage: the high cost manufacturing process.

Light, Made in
America, high performance and sexy too.
Looking for more data and delivery schedule.

distance
Hello Ted,
I will have the Aero Composite three blade but I'm
guessing that would
be about the same as the MT for mounting purposes?
We used a 1/8"
spacer. I also don't have my propeller yet but Aero
Composite sent me a
mount plate to use so I can fit the cowling. Maybe
MT can furnish you
one also?
I was just working on it yesterday and the top
cowling went on fairly
quickly, I had help.
I've attached a few photo's for you to see what
we've done thus far. I'm
installing cam locks and will have them spaced at
around 3".

Just a quess but with "The Hartzell ASC-II uses carbon and Kevlar® materials
" I am guessing somewhere closer to the Aerocomposite costs versus an MT
cost.

My apologizes for everyone who held interest. The prop is so superior
to the MT and AeroComp and is marketed specifically to the competition
aerobatic market. $50,000 for the three blades, hub and spinner. Their
area code has just changed from 513 to 937 so calling the old number did
not work.
Engineers are discussing a competitive offering to the wood core MT
variant for those looking for a more Barco Lounger ride.
This one is all Kevlar/Composite core so Sean, Mark and Patty can beat
the #$&% out of it. For best performance, its still a two blade
scimitar aluminum Hartzell in front of a DSS balanced internal
combustion AVGAS burning engine.
