Hartzell extends backcountry prop discounts to RAF supporters

By General Aviation News Staff · February 6, 2024 ·

Hartzell Propeller is extending a $1,000 discount to supporters of the Recreational Aviation Foundation (RAF) on all new Hartzell backcountry aircraft propellers through 2024.

“We are pleased to be able, once again, to extend this special offer to RAF supporters for the fourth consecutive year,” said Hartzell President JJ Frigge. “In addition to providing these $1,000 discounts on backcountry props, we will contribute $250 directly to the RAF for each propeller sold as a result of this special offer.”

The backcountry propellers offered include:

  • The Voyager: Three-blade Aluminum Scimitar optimized for the Cessna 180, 182, 185, and 206 powered by certain Continental 470 engines, and Continental 520 and 550 engines under a recent STC.
  • The Pathfinder: Three-blade “Raptor” carbon fiber composite available for the Cubcrafters XCub and Carbon Cub FX, as well as the Glasair Sportsman, American Legend and several other experimental aircraft.
  • The Trailblazer: Two-blade or three-blade carbon fiber composite available for various aircraft models from American Champion, American Legend, Aviat, Avipro, Cubcrafters, Glasair, Maule, and several other experimental aircraft.

Each of these propellers is designed to maximize performance for backcountry operations, including shorter takeoff rolls and better climb rates, according to Hartzell officials.
