Keep the props in that position so the birds don't crap on them.

Yeah, that would suck. Kind of a dog when it gets warm.

Ours were T207's but still not great when the DA gets up in the 10K-11K range.
Used to fly to this lovely airport at Monument Valley. One way in, one way out. Good times.

Luckily its downhill departing and you can follow the dry creek bed until you can actually climb.

Looks kind of Crooked Creek. Same basic dimensions. Looks kind of fun. Pilot Station is another one that gets interesting. Especially in a fully loaded CASA.

I'm surprised you have a MT on a 207 in Alaska. They aren't the cheapest propeller, nor the most durable with regards to FOD damage.
They are great on the aerobatic airplanes. Lighter, smoother and better performance during maneuvers. The down side is the are fragile when compared to the aluminum propellers.

I'm not sure about the MT on the sled - but the one on the PC12 actually holds up much better against the rocks than the aluminum prop.
The one on the Pilatus has a nickel leading edge that breaks rocks

Have you had any reviews on "Whirlwind" propellers?

Not really, when I worked for the prop shop we had one or two come through for overhaul after catastrophic failure from improper installation not design flaw. A friend tried one on his unlimited composite monoplane and wasn't happy with it, went back to a wide chord MT.
The guy that owns Whirlwind has an awesome Tailwind.

Gotcha, can I ask what unlimited plane it was on? Most guys I know have MT or Hartzel was just curious what the pros and cons were for a Whirlwind.

Thats crazy. What kind of FOD was it?
Interesting. I find in the 207 it to be a lot smoother, and a little bit quieter. I also think it looks really good on the 207.
Who makes that nose wheel fork?

I like it better then a 206, the only real issue is weight and balance, you really need to be careful in the 207, they stopped flying them here because of that...

Any tricks to learn about PAKF? I will be in Cold Bay in a month or so.
