Frequently Asked Questions

What colors are available?
Standard colors:

• White (RAL9016)
• Red (RAL3020)
• Gray (RAL7005)
• Flat or Shiny Black (RAL9005)
• Yellow (RAL1021)
• Blue (RAL5010)

Flat Black with white tips is the most popular because those colors do not clash with any other colors. They are also the most durable paint colors. Other custom colors may be ordered for an up-charge, but that could delay delivery for several weeks. MT prop blades and spinners may be painted with common materials by any prop shop. Kevlar Spinners are finished in white or black paint.

How long does it take to receive after a propeller is ordered?
Flight Resource stocks the most popular propellers and can ship to you within 24 hours.

Do I need a special technician to install the MT Prop?
In most cases, the shop that completes your annual will be able to install your MT propeller with ease.

I have other high-performance aircraft. Is there an MT prop to fit them also?
YES!! MT manufactures propeller systems for hundreds of applications and they even custom design and build props for experimental and aerobatic planes. Call for more information.

Are there any taxes or duty fees?
There are no U.S. import tax or duty at this time for props that we ship from our Warehouse. Customs fees and broker charges may apply to props that are shipped internationally from our warehouse in KS or direct from Germany.

Is there any special inspection process needed?
No. Preflight and annual inspections are no different than with a metal prop.

Can I use my existing prop governor?
For standard applications you will be able to use your OEM governor with no modifications at all.

Who can re-build the blades if they get damaged?
The MT-Propeller Service Center in DeLand Florida has the equipment to rebuild your blades and even the hub in the event of a prop strike or more severe damage. We also carry sets of exchange blades in stock for quick return to service for our customers.

The blades have a wooden core; can I use them in rain or on a seaplane?
MT Natural Composite blades have a tough epoxy / carbon fiber coating AND a thick Nickel-Cobalt edge that provides excellent protection from moisture and impact. Years of testing in rain, ice and snow have proven MT propellers are all-weather durable.

Is de-icing available?
All Hydraulic blades have available Electric (hot prop) or Fluid de-ice option.

How long has MT been making propellers?
MT-Propeller began making natural composite propellers in 1980. Over 100,000 blades are in action with no in-flight failures.
