Hartzell Propeller Inc. recently announced the availability of a new two-bladed replacement propeller system for the Beech model 55 Baron with 10470-L engines. The system is believed ideal for those Baron operators looking for the benefits of a new set of propellers with a lower acquisition cost than a three-bladed conversion. Another significant advantage claimed of Hartzell's upgraded two-bladed system is the elimination of those maintenance problems presented by the older propellers with threaded designs that are common to Barons with 10-470-L engines.
Each propeller is 78 in. in diameter and weighs £71. The kit is said to deliver a much improved 2,400 h/6 year TBO and the exclusive Hartzell plus three warranty which provides a full 3 years or 1,000 h of coverage. Cost for the new kit is $17,250 or $18,500 with alcohol Anti-ice and includes: propellers and polished spinners along with appropriate STC paperwork.
