Default RE: defective prop from Troy Built Models

camss69 - Gotcha, sorry I misinterpreted your post, but no harm, I hope....
"To be honest I have yet to read anything good about the TBM props. I bought one and it's sitting on a shelf now waiting to be used as a stick to stir paint. "

Now THIS comment is interesting.... I've not read very many public posts, if any, about the TBM props being not quite the best thing going. However, I have to agree... Unfortunately, I have two.... a 23 x 8 and a 22 x 8 used on two different engines. I have found them to be a HUGE load, really dragging down the r's of both engines, and very "slow" propellors. Comparing them agains Xoar, JXF, and NX, I've realized for my style of flying and engines I run, I should stick with those flavors.

Interesting thread. Didn't know Troy Built had that kind of a warranty statement.
