Thanks Jeremy I understand that and I happen to meet all those requirements. I've been on the fence about a prop change. I have an M6, GoodYear 26", HD Extended Gear, O-540J , 81" MAC and Universal wings. I like the idea of lightening the nose using an MT but wonder why an 83" as oppposed to 86" for my specific application. although I like the thought of an all aluminum prop vs wood core. . Maybe I should just save my Sheckles and throw them at Av Gas or Trick Air skis instead I don't actually need any more mods but I'm addicted to the fun gactor.

Does anyone have experience or at least insight with newly STC'd Hartzell Composite trailblazer propellor. It looks like the two blade 80" is STC'd although there is an 83" version as well.

The price for a two blade MT is the same as the two blade Hartzell when you figure in the field approval cost for the MT, I can't speak to the three blade. I know this because I put the two blade MT on my M6. The MT is a good smooth, performer and saved me 17.5 lbs on the nose when I replaced the 81" McCauley. Another value to the MT is the excellent customer service and support that both John and Larry of Flight Resources provide. I was just curious how the 80" Hartzell compared to the longer Mt on the J series Lycomings.

It would be nice if someone (hint, hint) would create an STC for the MTV-15 prop. I emailed MT in Germany a while ago and asked if they had any plans for a Maule STC- they said it wasn't in their plans.

Gbarrier, The two blade prop that MT normally stocks and typically field approves for use on O-540 Maules is part # MTV-15 B/210-58. There are different spinners available which you will need to choose from. I have an M6 with the O-540 J1A5D and I went with MT's spinner model P-277-3. I liked the larger diameter as opposed to the other choices they gave me, although there are other measurements involved to insure proper clearance between the spinner trailing edge and the cowl. The 210 in the propellor model # stands for 210 cm, MT refers to it as an 83" although technically it's 82.68". For what it's worth I run the 213cm (83.86") , I've have time behind the 210 and the 213 on the J1A5D and honestly didn't notice any difference in performance.
