Hartzell has received an STC for its Trailblazer propeller on American Champion Super Decathlon. The Trailblazer is a carbon-fiber-composite, two-blade propeller and is now offered as an option by American Champion. The propeller features a 76-inch diameter and is listed at $17,733.

"Working with American Champion we found that the Hartzell Trailblazer integrates nicely with the Super Decathlon and performs exceptionally well," said Hartzell president Joe Brown. "Now Super Decathlon owners and operators have an ASCII carbon-fiber Hartzell Trailblazer to enhance both their airplanes and their aerobatic skills. The propeller provides performance increases across the entire flight spectrum and is exceptionally smooth and responsive."
