hoffmann prop help. or mt prop?

Post by katanajer »

Hi guys my hoffmann prop is delaminating kinda bad. Anyone know if i can use an mt prop or anyone that can do repairs on this prop? American propellers in redding no longer does hoffmann.

I'm in los angeles ca so if you know anyone local or where i can buy a prop that would be great

Last time I was at Aviation Propellers in Opa Locka, FL, (305) 688-6030, they had a repaired Katana prop available for sale. But that was some time ago. They are (were) an approved Hoffman repair shop and did a fine job repainting our prop. The Katana prop is not too hard to remove and pretty easy to ship.

I am not aware of any prop besides one or two models of Hoffman that is approved for the A1 Katana.

I just had the prop repainted, not repaired nor the blades replaced and I do not remember what they charged.

I am not aware of any prop other than the Hoffman for the A1. I believe there is an STC for an MT prop on a C1, however (SA03373AT).
