I have the same prop on my A22. Got 10 knots higher cruise. Super happy.
One tip though: Acceleration from standstill with full rpm doesn't work. Better to start short field takeoff with no brakes, no flaps and flat rudders. Use two full seconds to reach full throttle.

Now that is one slick-looking prop! Our team installed the latest and greatest constant speed prop from @fly_eprops last week onto our current A-32 build (Full A-32 build reveal coming soon!). With a total weight of around 3.3kg, it’s an impressive bit of kit !

Extremely satisfied. I recommend this propeller to all A32 owners. It's the best.

The E-Props propeller appears to be a very narrow blade and you wonder if it could actually grab enough air, but it performs exceptionally well. While you do give up a bit of static thrust with the E-Props, once you’re rolling down the runway you can feel it really start to grab. The difference in takeoff roll is not noticeable and the climb is improved with the E-Props. The advantage of the E-Props is more noticeable in cruise flight with at least a 5 MPH gain in speed. Another significant advantage to the E-Props is the balance and extremely smooth and quiet operation. It is quieter both in the cockpit and from the ground compared to the Kiev and the DUC. One other significant advantage of the E-Props is the weight savings. The E-Props complete with spinner and mounting bolts is less than 6 lbs.! The Kiev prop is about 12 lbs. Not only does this reduce the empty weight of the aircraft and increase useful load, but less rotating mass reduces the load and wear on the engine and gearbox. E-Props has the best service life at 2,000 hours and unlimited calendar time. At TBO the E-Props simply requires an inspection by the manufacturer and can be put back in service. It can be run indefinitely with 4,000 hour inspections. E-Props now has props in service with an excess of 30,000 hours of operation! Overall, I think the 3-blade E-Props is the best match for the A32 for performance, durability and cost of operation.

We’re happy to inform you that we have finally, last week, installed the new prop on one of our Aeroprakt A32. The performance of the plane has definitely changed (for the good) and we are very happy. We still need a few more flight hours to see the change in fuel consumption.
Also, we’d like to inform you that we have just received and order for a new A32 and it will be equipped with a E-Props propeller too.

Flown both and Found E-prop even better than Duc, easier to rig and less noisy.

Great prop - worth the money - we get around +10 kts at same fuel consumption, and a lot smoother.

Absolutely stunning in A32, behaves like a constant speed prop, + 300’ per min climb, 10 mph faster. Set to 5750 static rpm!!

Fitted our eprop at weekend and makes plane so much more sleek
Very happy with it.

We love the Eprops! Super smooth and quiet. Great thrust. Light weight. Durable. What’s not to love!

E-PROPS Durandal on a AEROPRAKT A32 Rotax 912S 100hp: By far the best propeller we have had on our A32, better than all other brands. Impressive Constant Speed effect. Impressive mass gain: 4,5 lb. Impressive gain in cruising speed: 10 kts. And with the Titanium leadind edge, it's a perfect product.

We installed one On our A32. Notably less vibration, less noise and plus app 10 kts cruise. Take off distance is difficult to acces but at least the same. And you save some weight too.

On the A32, the eprop acts more like a constant speed. Since the RPM doesn't lug down on heavy loading you can set it for a bit more speed. On yours expect 3 kts faster at cruise than with the Kievprop. Same fuel burn.

We were pretty impressed with the performance increase. Amazing weight and reactivity. Less noise too.
Will send you a complete set of test results in a few days.
Thank you for your research and achievements.

We installed our propeller on A32 yesterday.
Wau! What a difference! Easy to install, smoother, quieter, super take-off, 5 kts more cruise and 1500 ft/m.
Much better on all parameters.
But we had to adjust trim because we removed 1,5-2 kg from the nose.

We are very satisfied with our new propeller on our A32: it is very powerful and very light.
Have already flown 300 hours with it.
The Titanium protection is well integrated in the blade. Thank you eprop.

Flying our A32 with its new e-prop titanium propeller is a real pleasure.no more vibrations! It also gives a much better traction. It's quite exceptional.

Excellent equipment for our A32. Already 200 flight hours and it's still like new.

I am delighted with my new propeller on my AEROPRAKT A32! I am impressed by the quality of your products. In terms of lightness you are the best by far! I find my propeller very quiet too. I am planning some very nice flights with it. Thank you very much!

I appreciate the fact that my engine doesn't "slap" when I turn it off. I used to have a Kievprop that had to be heavier or less well balanced, and the noise when stopped was disturbing.

Hi Anne, I just received formal approval from Aeroprakt for the installation of the e-prop on the A32 in compliance with ASTM LSA standards. The approval is attached below.
We were able to install and test the new E Prop. The results were fantastic for all engineering parameters!
I tried to do collect test data to provide a comparison before and after with results attached. Please note that vibration, impulse forces and noise data were simply recorded with apps on the panel mounted iPad. Thus would suggest the data provides relative rather than aboslute data for the two props.
We tried to ensure that the flight conditions (gross weight, temperature, winds, etc) were also similar for the test flights. The results were very impressive.
Anne, the only issue that has come up is that we have observed some fading on what is assumed to be the protective clear coat finish on the blades and spinner. [it was this has been solved with a light polish]
