re mt props
Rick
I was "told" that MT will mfgr. special complex designs which is easier to do with a wood laminated structure. Based on what I understand, a 3 bladed prop reduces vibration and noise (advantages). There is no improvement at cruise but has better loading at lower RPMs for TO or climb. MT has a weight advantange over aluminum with their design. Mooney went back to a 2 bladed prop to gain an extra 2 mph or more at cruise and was willing to sacrifice cabin noise...
