Did you operate your aircraft with stock -42, -52 or -61 before the sweptblade props?
I'm looking for real world comparison of the EPIC package versus stock.
I operate a C90Bxp (PT6A-135A powered, with 4 bladed Hartzell D8990SK props).
Our props are due for overhaul (3rd time around) in February and we're considering upgrading instead of doing overhaul, or overhaul/exchange, for same make/model of our current props. We figure if we're gonna spend the money, why not spend a little more and get something that adds value and performance to the airplane.
We want to know how the real world, actual experience performance numbers compare to what Raisbeck provides.
Do you really see a major improvement in runway performance, climb performance, cruise speed, landing distance, and cabin quietness and comfort.
Remember we're not test pilots (some of us aren't anyway) and we're just trying to get a feel of how the package really performs when flown by non test pilots. Does it really do what Raisbeck says it does?
Thanks!
