'I ordered a prop from Mike in late October. I last had an email from him
on 11/8/06, and all seemed well then. Haven't tried to reach him since.

'All,

It mounts just fine:) Better than a Sensenich and allot nicer.

Mike was building them under one time article approval from the FAA. He used my prop during the building for his Prod Cert. Each prop that he built had to be certified by the FAA in person. Not a hard process, just very time consuming. Built to the specs of the Acft TC and the Prop TC.

Could some one explain how a "Falcon" propeller is mounted on F24R46?
Lets assume it meets TC #A-706. I would assume as he holds no TC
approval(as of Tdata 2006-20) that it gets done by the "gray area" on
A-706 under item #109....

"109. Propeller - wood (any fixed pitch wood propeller eligible
for the engine rpm and power, and which meet the diameter
and static rpm limits specified)"

In which case how does one prove the prop meets the power capacity of
the installation? If it were built to the TC it is approved, but as
he holds no current TC approval, how does one know it is built to the
TC? The static RPM and diameter limits are obvious enough but how
does one prove a propeller built to unknown standards is "eligible
for the engine rpm and power" without exhaustive, complicated, and
lengthy testing? Sounds ticklish......

'My understanding was Mike is using the prop designs developed by Ole
Fahlin of Fahlin Propellers.

Fahlin had contemporary designs for most aircraft from the mid-20's thru
the 40's. Here is a bit of info on Fahlin props that I found on the web:
