Would it be worth going to court? Well, what about the cash required and time spent pursuing such endeavours. And, who can say how much would be recovered even with victory?
Presently, Rpp must concentrate on amending the props which were to come to market recently. Now, Rpp have stated on their website when those next props will be ready. They have confirmed that, the props have no issues regarding fracturing.
So, with lead times for any orders by prospective customers, in which ever form, such as distributors, dealers, etc, props may be ordered in advance.
Anyway, if you research the internet, manufacturer has lost a court case, for prop related injuries and it financially cost a lot for damages. So, who might keep paying for that, the insurers, the manufacturers in premiums and excesses? Especially, if this becomes more predominant. Other cases are being taken before the courts.
There are many cases each year of injury and fatalities.
The ADF use the props for their soldiers to avoid damage when jumping out of boats, etc. But, I don't think it is just down to saftey, performance is a massive improvement, especially with sharp turning reducing blow out. Reduced tangling to potential props.
So, it may be perceived that if it is possible to keep using normal open bladed props when they have many inherent issues and dangers, is it not possible to look for attributes of other designs for their inherent improved values.
I thought Rpp owned the tools?
Just an opinion.
Have a good Xmas all. KL, maybe we might stop the banter and forgive each other's opinions.
Do your own research.
