I think I can make that prop sound reasonable, check this out. I wanted to try a 3 blade on my GP123 to hopefully pass a sound guideline at my nearest club. Couldn't find any locally so I ordered from Desert Aircraft, a nice 27x12TH Mejzlik. I added a few exhaust gaskets to get while having a shipment from DA. When checking out it said $17.50 shipping charge for USPS, this seemed reasonable. Later I get an email saying my order was fulfilled and shipped on UPS tracking number ......! Oh no! I know this means a ridiculous brokerage fee from UPS to get my package. A few days later I get the notification from UPS to pay $101.87 CDN for brokerage and tax. Visa charge from DA $286.50 Canadian after exchange, so total of $388.37 for 1 prop and some DA exhaust gaskets.
