Remi,
I have had an Airmaster AP308 on my Europa XS - Rotax 914 from new.
Over 210 hrs of faultless operation.
It is simple to use in operation and maintenance is at 100 hrs or with
annual.
Have flown a fair bit in rain with no effect at all on the blades.
Prop is smooth but I cannot compare with others as this is all I have had.
Had a prop strike early on and received excellent support from Airmaster for
the repair.
On the field I fly from there are two other planes with Airmaster AP332
props. A 912 powered Pulsar and 912 powered Storm. Both were conversions
---From fixed pitch with a dramatic improvement in performance.
Yes a bit expensive but it works!!
