Ah. Okay. What is the 2.0 upgrade? Are those CD-155s? Or are they both CD-135s just with different chips?

Now my plane DA42TDI, 2008, with CD-135 is back with upgraded propellers. My reflections;
-Noise and vibrations, on ground is less and lower, more dull.
-Clime, big difference, big improvement. feels much more powerful. Bigger difference then MT promised.
-Cruise, about 2-3 knots faster, maybe 3-4 knots faster.
Summarize; Yes it is good.
About MT-proppelers; Good to bee carful before ordering upgrade, MT offered the uppgrad for a total of 16820 EUR + VAT,
of course they know the old blades serial no and all. Then during the process MT "discovers" that the there is a need to rebuilt the deice,
total extra cost 2640 and painting 330, almost 3000 EUR + VAT extra cost.
In my opinion MT use the situation to charge extra in a bad manners.
So be careful doing business with MT Propellers.
