What could possibly make an Extra 300L take off faster, climb better, and become even more fun to fly? How about a new prop? Hartzell Propeller has been awarded a supplemental type certificate for its Talon propeller for installation on the 300L, the company announced on January 25. The three-blade, high-performance 78-inch-diameter prop replaces the stock wood-core, three-blade prop with its advanced aerodynamic design.
