Hi RiP,
hmmmmm, spare Chris Lodge prop'.........."rocking horse droppings"! I have bought but yet to run an Ed Sterba prop' on my 2180cc, I will let you know what I think later, looks very nice.
I think the new upcoming name in prop's in the UK is:

Alan Newton
Newton Propeller
Unit 26, Ddole Ind. Est.
Llandrindod Wells
Powys, LD1 6DG

Tel/Fax: 01597 824 420

I have no personal experience and have heard nothing bad...........

Neil , I ordered a prop from Alan , he is making it as we speak , 57X34 hope it works and does not take too long !

The Sterba props are about 450 US$ now with a small delivery charge if you have a contact in the USA and can collect it . I go to Pittsburgh on busiess frequently , so no problem . However LAA seemed happier with a prop from Alan Newton !

How about renting me your landing gear rubber replacement tool if I send you an enormous amount of cash as a deposit ? RiP :

Hi RiP,

No need for a deposit, you are welcome to borrow the u/c tool. Use it at your own risk !!

Good luck with the prop', I am sure it will be fine. My Sterba prop' seems to have some tracking issues, hopefully just a remount, we shall see.
