metal prop

[at7615]

Need a metal prop for a 46 BC-12d with the A-65, prefer not to buy new, if anyone has a spare please contact, Thanks

There are several options, which one do you think you need? New are 4500, I bought one 2 years ago used for 2700 with no paperwork. Prices are all over the board, if you do buy one, please have it checked out by a prop shop, that is cheap insurance and will ensure it will provide you good performance. All the shop needs to do is a few measurements and check the blades for being coned forward. Good luck, tim

The best prop for the A65 is the McCauley IB90 CM7445 (in my opinion). It's a good all-rounder, and they tend to go for a higher price than the cruise or climb versions. Any prop can be re-pitched, but only so many times, so you would need to know the full history of the prop if you go that route.

McCauley make them* in batches, so occasionally there are several available.

* Actually, Sensenich make them, but that's a side issue!

I liked the Sensenich M74ck-7443, for me it outperforms the Mac but is only approved for a 65, if you want to go with an 85/200 you will need a Mac or a sensenich m76AK
