    I have been looking to price these CS props but haven’t been able to find prices? Why is that? I found a distributor but of course no price.

    Just email Airmaster with your details and they will provide a quote. They are a very good company to deal with in my experience.

    FWIW my set up (CS unit and 75"blades was about $Aus10k (3 years ago)

    cheers

    It's a lot of dollars in any currency.

    Clear.
    I meant the balancing of the aircraft - the compensation of the weight of the hub.

    For those that are interested, The WW 70 inch prop weighs 12 lbs. The Airmaster with 70 inch WW blades weighs 25 lbs with spinner. So it's a 12-13 lb difference.

    You probably can purchase through Kitfox. I was just curious after flying 12 hours with one at Stick & Rudder. I was surfing the net while John and Debra were likely asleep.
    As for the friends airplane, the fixed pitch props were probably cruise props and comparing cruise setting on the CS to a fixed cruise prop you would not expect to flind an advantage. Try comparing take off and climb settings of the CS to that fixed prop. I bet its no comparison. These Airmasters are sweet.

    The Airmaster provides the most efficient use of the engine's power, through all phases of flight.
