Scott my good man,
You really need to work on situational awareness - with respect to German companies at least ;-)
There are more Gods in Germany than the whole of the Indian subcontinent - and each has an advanced engineering degree if not a PhD or two. At MT I have found both the traditional "you are too dumb to understand" response and also a very warm and enthusiastic camaraderie of peers. As a low key sort of guy your opinions and questions did not get the respect they deserved and that is their failing. I am confident that should you cop a superior attitude based on you extensive background that most of the hohe muender would come around.
. . . but I say that as I prepare to discuss with them altering the high end set on my counterweighted feathering prop - I am prepared for a variety of responses although only "we'll git er done" will be accepted in the end.

ES-P N301ES, with an interior being done in Spanish time (perhaps maņana!) Doncha just love the international aspects of these aircraft?

Subject: [LML] Re: Props
I have been in the prop zone for a little while now in regards to Unleashed, my Lancair 360. I now have the Superior XP-400 on the airplane. We're supposed to run a MT racing prop... My experience with MT so far has been poor. As the pilot of the airplane and the one's whose butt is in the seat, I found their rep's attitude and demeanor poor at best. Then I come to find out that their prop begain to delaminate at high rpm - where we are going to run.
On the other hand, Hartzell came to me and wanted to sponsor me. They gave me a new prop and always treated me with respect and courtesy. I trust in and believe their product and their attitude towards safety.
A few final thoughts: apples to apples, and MT prop has never gone faster than a Hartzell at Reno. I also got answers and data from Hartzell when I asked, while the MT rep refused to give me any data on their race prop they were building for me. Having said that, I think it would be fair to say that there are some / a lot of people that have had very good experiences with MT and like their propeller choice.
