HARTZELL CONTINUES $1,000 PROP DISCOUNT FOR FOURTH YEAR, BOOSTING RAF MISSION THROUGH 2024

Our friends at Hartzell Propeller are continuing to offer a  $1,000 discount  for RAF supporters on four backcountry propellers. In addition, Hartzell is contributing $250 to the RAF mission for each new Hartzell prop sold due to this special offer through 2024!

“We love this partnership. It’s a real benefit to current RAF supporters, and a welcome incentive to becoming an RAF supporter,” RAF Chairman John McKenna said.

These four Hartzell propellers are designed for shorter take-offs and better climb rates, especially desireable for backcountry operations.

  • Explorer – three-blade “Raptor” series carbon fiber composite – Available for a number of experimental aircraft;
  • Voyager – three-blade Aluminum Scimitar – Optimized for Cessna 180, 182, 185, and 206 fleets;
  • Pathfinder – three-blade “Raptor” carbon fiber composite – Available for the Cubcrafters XCub and Carbon Cub FX, as well as the Glasair Sportsman and several other experimental aircraft;
  • Trailblazer – two or three-blade carbon fiber composite – Available for various American Champion, American Legend, Aviat, Avipro, Cubcrafters, Glasair, Maule aircraft, and other experimental aircraft.

“Hartzell continues its dedication to backcountry safety, aircraft performance, and noise reduction – features RAF pilots really appreciate. Save a thousand dollars on this offer, and boost the RAF mission, thanks to Hartzell’s generous pledge,” McKenna added.

Nestled in among awe-inspiring mountains, Glacier Creek (KGZ) airstrip is 15 nm east of McCarthy in Alaska’s Wrangell-St. Elias National Park. On July 11, a work party drawing 25 volunteers was held there, led by RAF Alaska Liaison Stef Goza, her husband Randy, and Alaska Ambassador Bri Norby. They were joined by a group of National Park Service maintenance crew members who’d been flown in the night before and cleared the trail from the airstrip to the cabin before volunteers arrived.
