PROPELLER VORTELATOR

Post by RadarRoom »

Anyone with a fixed pitch Maule have any experience with propeller vortelators?
I am thinking about them for my M-4-145, 20-50 RPM on takeoff and climb could make a big difference for only $100 plus shop time for the install.

They are like Vortex Generators for the prop

Wonder how long they last. I liked the Prop Guard tape kit from McFarlane Aviation but it didn't last very long and was a bear to remove and replace.
