Looking for thoughts on the 1a200 (aka club) versus the IP235 (aka pawnee) climb props for the O-360.....
From a scan of the forums and talking to those who know....
1a200: approved but heavy
IP235: not approved, but light
Like the postings here, my FAA friend says McCauley (or any local businesses) won't do the vibe-testing that FAA wants to approve the IP235, in his opinion because it doesn't work out for them as a business decision, i.e. the cost of the testing and approvals ($25k ish) would take too long to recover in STC sales. But the fact is there are alot of IP235's on cubs.
