Appreciate any update on performance improvement. I have to decide if renovate the old props or invest in the new. In line with the STC. The cost is 9200 vs 17000 € plus VAT.

Some 3 kts in cruise and a bit better climbing performance.

We didn‘t notice any improvement. MT says that the single engine climb rate is better which is certainly good, but in normal operation no difference.

Thanks Emir and Robert, I'm not getting much wiser. Any final advices, is it worth 10' EUR to have new props ???

Is hard to say. Single engine performance could be quite important one day, but probably it never happens. The props look good. I think you must decide by yourself if this worth it.

For me it was easier decision - old props were due to second overhaul. I would say yes.

Re: STC for scimitar props from MT for all Diesel engines soon available
Since Friday I have the new MT scimitar props (in combination with new CD135 engines).
From my feeling I can report the following:
- Very smooth and vibration free run (way better than before)
- Improved take off roll and climb performance (Even so hard to say because it is dependent on several factors to make a realistic comparison – but I flew the plane since 2014 with more than 500 hours and this is my first impression)
- Very nice look

They must be the same props regardless of which Centurion engine, right? So if I put them on my current engines I could move them to CD135's later on?

CD-135 is the same engine you have now.
