XP Series targets 12-volt systems for home-built market.
An FAA PMA’d Sky-Tec is about $1400 plus core return. If the XP version is “less than $1000”, does that mean it costs Hartzell $400 plus to type out that 8130-3 form? Tongue in cheek of course, but, hey, show me what the actual difference is between the two units ! I am an A&P and am appalled by the price gouging. Continental takes over Slick and nearly doubles the price of mags. Can’t blame that on covid or tariffs folks.
Of course it is good news a fine company like Hartzell keeps being successful in business. Sad however it seems gradually leaving the core propeller business. Rotors/propellers badly need innovation. Aviation badly needs a new generation of them. E.g. such as those based on adaptive technology. Who else could be more authentic to prototype them?
