Ralph Brands Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 I'm trying to resolve a discussion regarding the A model three-bladed props. I flew A models (53-3133, 55-0022, 55-0024) in the 1970s at Hanscom Fld, Kirtland AFB and Wright-Patterson AFB in A.F. Systems Command. My recollection is that the A model three-bladed props had synchronizing, but no synchro-phasing. I certainly remember the "prop beats" flying them, the the super quiet of the E model when we got one of them. I've researched Aeroproducts web site, which seems to imply they were synchro-phased. Can anybody confirm or deny my recollections? I wish I had kept my A Dash-1. Thanks in advance, Ralph Brands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinyclark Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Yes, the synchrophaser was installed by TCTO 1C-130-936 or 1095 when the props were modified. Don't know what they had before that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
