Let’s see if the folks at PYI Inc. can restore and refurbish this 35 year old MAXPROP Classic!

PYI Inc. has been the sole distributor for the MAXPROP in North/South America and Asia since it was founded in 1981.

PYI also operates the only official worldwide refurbishment operation for ALL of the MAXPROPS ever made since 1972.

We take a trip to their Office/Showroom/Warehouse/Production Facility/Custom Machine Shop (They really do it all here!) to see if we can squeeze some more years out of this old bronze propeller.

If you are interested in having YOUR MAXPROP Refurbished, follow this link:

Huge thanks to Fred at PYI for hosting us, sharing his knowledge, and touring us around the facility. Of course, another big thank you to Jerome for getting the careful work done behind the scenes you are a true MASTER. To everyone else at PYI, thanks for letting us crash the facility. Keep up the great work!!

Thank you!!!
