The swept-tip, scimitar-shaped airfoil is designed for optimal take-off acceleration and climb performance and offers improved low-speed thrust as well as cruise speed improvement when compared with wood core props. The Hartzell Trailblazer’s carbon fiber construction features an innovative mesh erosion shield and field-replaceable, nickel-cobalt leading edge, ensuring it can withstand demanding backcountry and bush flying. The Trailblazer is approved for use with wheels, floats, and skis.

The mighty "Black MAC 401" is a good all around metal propeller that provides great cruise speeds and take-off thrust.  On Cessna 182 they are approved up to 82 inches on wheels. On all other applications up to 88 inches in diameter are allowed.

This is possibly the  most quiet propeller available for the engine upgrade with 78 Inches in diameter. For customers that would like to be on the fast side this prop will provide a fast cruise. We knocked down two stars for take-off thrust, but don't be fooled. It is still a great performer.

The Metal Voyager is a jack of all trades. It focuses in take-off and climb performance like the Trailblazer. However, it has also been optimized for cruise airspeeds. It is a serious competitor to the McCauley 401 Black Mac.
