Need some composite props. Your batteries and useful load will thank you.View attachment 39329

If I had more time left on the engines I would seriously look at the MT's instead of just getting the current props overhauled next year. But in seven more years the motors will most likely be timed out, so it doesn't make any sense to invest that kind of money. They sure are sweet though.

Yup. 5400 with two hots, but I don't believe a lot of people do that.

Seems like the cost of the extra hot would way overcome the extra 400 hrs.

Battery would have even less work if it didn't have to spin a prop during the start cycle...

Just ain't right.

That noise you hear when you hit the starter is really just the battery crying for mercy.

Even better with a nice clean slick undercarriage.

Did someone shoot at that pontoon with birdshot or is that all the crap the prop throws back at it every time you bring it off the locks?

I'm ignoring this entirely based on your use of the word "pontoon" to refer to an aircraft float.

Pontoon boats and beer mix much better than floatplanes and beer.

One thing I don't like about the Garretts is on-wing hots aren't really a thing.
