Improves Performance of Cessna T210L

For those of you who get around in one of Cessna's T210L Centurions, you now have a new prop alternative that offers a significant upgrade to what you've had before. Hartzell Propeller's newest three-blade Scimitar Top Props now come equipped with a propeller de-ice system. This enhances Hartzell's existing STC coverage for those aircraft that were originally equipped with propeller de-icing, now including turbocharged 28-volt T210L airplanes.

Data gathered from computer predictions validated improved runway acceleration to 60 knots by more than 3%, while extensive flight tests to 5,000, 10,000 and 15,000 feet showed increased initial sea level climb of 35 feet per minute, or 4%, and slightly increased cruise performance, with speeds 2 to 3 knots greater than with the T210L's original propeller.

Mike Trudeau, Hartzell Propeller's Top Prop program manager said the enhanced STC coverage brings new economics and better value to owners of Cessna T210L airplanes. "Better performance on the runway and in the air will, we believe, attract a very positive reaction from owners from all corners of the world.  Our design engineers and aerodynamicists are making Top Props live up to their name, once again."

List prices for the kit from Hartzell's worldwide dealer and service network, ranges from $9,800 to $11,800, depending on required equipment.
