Anybody have a McCauley MCM 6950 (standard) or a Sensenich 69CK-0-50L prop they would want to sell?

Sure!

(oh wait - you probably want an airworthy prop...)

Kirk-

I could probably hacksaw off and re-weld one blade from the old prop onto the 'new' old prop, file down the weld bead, a little Bondo and a couple of cans of Rustoleum and I'd be good to go! smile

If you have not already found them, there are three MCM's on Barnstormers. Two of which look like good candidates.

One [barnstormers.com]

Two [barnstormers.com]

The third has already been repitched to a 44 so may not be repitchable.

Without going back into the TCDS, are not MCM's and DCM's interchangeable? I wrote McCauley back when I was looking for a prop and asked once what the difference was between the MCM and DCM. The response was basically one had a "M" in it and the other had a "D". They are both manufactured from the same forging. I was just thinking this would broaden your search base.

Bill,
Thanks for the information. I'll check on the Barnstormer site.

The prop that is on the plane IS designated DCM , but looking at new props on the website; they are all designated with MCM. I'll widen my web search to correspond.

Thanks again!

Not sure what model of the Cessna 150 you have, you don't say. For all 150's up to and including the 150K (but not the A150K) the 1A100/MCM and the 1A101/DCM are both approved for the aircraft. If you have an Aerobat 150K, then the ONLY prop approved for it is the 1A101/DCM

Props with other letter combinations after the model number are designed to be used with a spacer for L and M models, and should be avoided as they cannot be used to replaced earlier "spacerless" models.

Chuck-

The aircraft is a '64 150D model. I'm not (yet) the owner - we are still 'negotiating'. The prop presently on the plane failed to pass the recent annual inspection. If I can find a reasonably priced prop to replace it, I might have a plane in time for Clinton.
