C-85 Propeller

Post by 8342 »

I took my propeller to Tiffenaire for overhaul and it was determined that it is now Wallworthy and not Airworthy.
So I am in the market for a servicable prop for my C-85.
If you have knowledge of where I can find one please let me know.

Thanks,

Rick

Here's a possibility: "MCCAULEY KLIPTIP MET-L-PROP CM7046 METAL AIRPLANE PROPELLER C-85; C-90". It's item # 193743893623 on Ebay. $3,500.00 ("OBO"!...) + shipping. I don't know seller, but note that he has "100% feedback". FWIW. Mac

Just a word of caution: a 7046 can be used on the C85, but if it's been overhauled, it might be a 69.5, which is the minimum length allowed...
