    bleh, i cant stand the sound of those new props. "Angry Hornets"

    I prefer the throbbing hum of the old 4 blade Hamilton's





    That will ALWAYS be my preferred sound

    a 130H Mechanic told me, that is pretty much a 60Hz tone.

    Those props are FADEC Managed and the FADEC tries to keep them at a RPM that produces a 60Hz Tone all the time. the condition of the props just alters it based on flight performance and phase of flight.
