Brett Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Would anyone be able to tell me if there are any Australian wooden prop manufacturers these days. Ones that make custom orders specifically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 There's a good one in Christchurch. That's close to Australia. Nev 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riley Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 One of the most respected propellor makers in Oz for years was Richard Sweetapple in SEQ? I'm advised that he has recently seriously retired (he tried a couple of times but I recall the market wouldn't let him) and has sold the prop fabrication operation but I don't know to whom. Perhaps other Forumites may be able to steer you unto the new operators. Failing that, try Arthur Marcel <<[email protected]>> who may have knowledge of the new owners. Happy hunting. cheers Riley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett Posted May 19, 2014 Author Share Posted May 19, 2014 Gday Riley, actually I do have a sweetapple prop but it's for a sonex :) looking forward to trying it out as well. Hi, Facthunter, you're right it is pretty close and the postage is cheap but I have two already from New Zealand for my current plane. Chasing a 3rd and really hoping the last.

RKW Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Dieter Sedlbauer is now the proud owner of Sweetapple props. PM me for contact details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
