Guys,
Seen you lot post in here about them a few times, would you recommend them??
Also saw you had balancing issues, did that get resolved??

I didn't use reco in the end, I used HJ Chards. A faf trying to get the thing to work in the end, never balanced right. Was because he rushed one of the flange ends. Got all the money refunded though. I'm looking into making my own composite prop now.
I unfortunately can't say about reco-prop!

Would you mind posting up a rough quote, specs and if you get one a pic Sam?
I should give them a ring too really, I imagine we have the same issue

As far as I know Husky never had any issues with his.

Chris, I've been quoted 350 + vat and they take 2-4 weeks to make which I didn't think was too bad

This would be interesting, I would be interested in the fatigue loading.

Thanks Sam, no, I agree, for what is required that sounds reasonable!

we've had a Reco-prop here in holland, fitted perfect but caused serious vibrations that multiple balancing sessions couldn't solve

I thought I had read somewhere they had balancing problems, did they never over come them?
