Propeller Overhaul

[mwestphal]

Hi,
I just purchased a Ximango here in Canada. According to Transport Canada, I have to get the propeller overhauled every 10 years.

Has anyone gotten their propeller overhauled, and it so by who?

How much did they charge and was there any Air Directives that had to be performed on the propeller?

Thanks,

Mark,

Some 9 years ago, I had a prop strike and got an overhaul kit from:

Aviation Propellers Inc.
12970 Port Said Road
Opa Locka, Fl 33054
Fon: 305 688 9439
Fax: 305 681 4236
www.avprops.com
info@avprops.com

A little later I learned Hoffmann in Germany sells a new prop for less than the cost of the kit and labor for overhaul. Here is the web site: http://www.hoffmann-prop.com/.

Good luck,
Roland.

Hi,
I have a new prop that was purchased in Jan 2006 from Hoffmann in Rosenhiem, Germany. It's still in the crate with all the papers. Never been used to date. I had a wheels up landing in 2005 and had my orig. rebuilt with new blades and this as a spare. You can e-mail Hoffmann for new price and if interested in mind, I'll deduct $2000.

Thanks for your interest,

I bought a new one without the spinner dome from Hoffmann in April this year at EURO 5032.00 plus EU 250.00 Fedex shipment.

Hi Dennis,

I wish I had know about the propeller earlier, but my is on its way back from Germany. I should have the overhauled propeller in my hands tomorrow.

Thanks for the effort.
