props

Post by varr »

Hey guys just got my 170 b . flys good.
I have been looking at props heard about the jet flow prop.
i found some things that might help.
the McCauley company did do some rework on the old 1a170 props.
to get better performance out of it. think this is what people called the california prop or jetflow. the california prop is nothing more than a McCauley MDM prop design built to help the 172s. Had found an old service bulliten in the papers on my 170 and it talked about the blade profill change.
If I am wrong somebody correct me.

Mine was actually reshaped by California Prop in the '70's.
