Subject: Avia V 503 AP Propeller

Recently received an email from Igor Brunclik, Managing Director of Avia
Propeller (brunclik@aviapropeller.cz) informing that they in partnership
with Turbine Design Inc. in Florida have recently received a FAA STC for
their V 503 AP automatic autonomous variable pitch prop on a Cessna 172N
with the Lyc 0-320.

For all of us 150 HP flyers, this prop, especially with speed mods or
Powerflow Exhaust, could give us the ability to use our excess power. I
don't know how difficult it would be in the States to put this prop on a
177, but I imagine it would be a lot easier for me to jump through the
hoops in Canada if someone in the US leads the way. As a introductory
offer Avia is currently offering this prop for $6000 US plus shipping
and handling. In conversation with Igor at Oshkosh last summer Avia has
been frustrated with the onerous and expensive American STC process for
the 172 but they are willing to do what they can to help get this
prop......<

Here is a possible alternative..........to the vp prop. Albeit a bit
expensive........
