chuckthedog Posted April 30, 2003 Share Posted April 30, 2003 I put one on my long in November. Before that I ran a Prince 2 blade for years. The Catto 3 blade is smother, quieter, and better takeoff and cruse performance than the prince, but weighs a little more. Quality of work vary good. It takes some time for him to deliver. The price is not out of line. Quote If the phone don't ring. It's me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian DeFord Posted April 30, 2003 Share Posted April 30, 2003 I originally purchased a Sensenich and did all my taxi tests with it, but decided to buy a Catto due to the ground clearance fears I had with the Sensenich. I flew the Catto all thru my phase I testing and it performed flawlessly. I can't compare it to another flying prop as it is the only one I've flown, but I can say that the experience dealing with Craig Catto was good. It took awhile to get the prop, but it is well built and looks beautiful. Quote Brian DeFord Cozy MK-IV N309BD 'Blonde Streak' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lfrers Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 I just bought one from http://www.cattoprops.com/. Price is right and Craig is a nice guy and has a good rep. He just started mine last week. Said I'd have it in 5-6 weeks. That's OK since the Vez is down for maint. I got a fuel leak at the bottom of my two sight guages in the back seat area and I'm replacing most of my switches for the main power + radio, strobes, trim, etc. The Composite prop will replace my Sensenich wood 56" The wood prop has a few small cracks showing in the hub plus some minor but scary looking dents that penetreated the clear laquer coating in a few spots. The wood prop has a 3.5 hub and the composite has a 4" hub so i'll be getting new prop bolts as well. But at least it will match this nifty white kiss type spinner I got. I would go 3 blade just for coolness factor but I dont want to have to buy a new spinner as well. I think I'll be happy with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
