Re: [COUPERS-TECH] Warp Drive Prop Legal on Ercoupe?

[fugate]

----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following any advice in this forum.]---- As I am looking for a prop, I know a little about this.  The prop in question is not STC'd for the Coupe.  The only odd ball prop that is approved is the Aeromatic.  Used, approved props are virtually impossible to come by.  New metal props will run you $2200.00.  You will get quoted as high as $3195 for a new prop, but $2200 seems to be as low as you can get anyone to go.  Problem is, nobody has one.  Earliest delivery date is mid December.  I doubt the Warp drive prop is legal.  I'd love to have one of the three bladed composite cockpit adjustable pitch props.  I understand they absolutely are not legal for anything other than experimental.  Chances are they will never be legal, as they sell all they produce to the home built crowd.

What would the requirements be to put a composite prop on an ercoupe legally?  I just sent my prop (7150) in for overhaul and the shop says that they can not overhaul it because it is below tolerances, but that it is still airworthy.  If I get any nicks in the prop I will be looking for replacement and am just checking around in advance to see what my options are. Thanks in Advance Steve TindelandAlon A2N5634F --------------------------------- to unsubscribe send mailto:coupers-tech-unsubs [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___________________________________________________________ T O P I C A  http://www.topica.com/t/17 Newsletters, Tips and Discussions on Your Favorite Topics -- ----------------------------------------------------- Click here for Free Video!! http://www.gohip.com/free_video/   --------------------------------- to unsubscribe send mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ___________________________________________________________ T O P I C A http://www.topica.com/t/17 Newsletters, Tips and Discussions on Your Favorite Topics
