Perhaps the blades, but I'll put $ that the hub and the cs mechanism are
steel and adapted from a metal prop. Most cs composite props have
Hartzell/McCauley cs hubs (Whirlwind Co comes to mind-NICE props. My
aerobatic hangar mate has a 3 blade Whirlwind on his 385 hp biplane and
he throws that thing all across the sky-he does it professionally and
flies Fedex Airbuses as a day job).
