Culver Props
was purchased in 2001 to continue offering
the highest quality wooden propellers to the public. Gene and Larry Smith, owners of Valley
Engineering, LLC, had used Culver Props on their own aircraft for some time and were
so impressed with their performance and quality, they decided to buy the company after
learning that it was ceasing production. The company and equipment were moved from
Pennsylvania to Rolla, Missouri, where the manufacturing of these superior wooden
propellers continues today. Special care is given to match the size and pitch of the prop
to meet the customer's specific need. Each propeller is made of only the best northern
hard maple and birch available, with each piece of wood being hand-selected specifically
for the unit being made. |
