Airtime Products: The BOS1 54 x 24 / 22 N L props were initially developed and sold in conjunction with Airtime Products of Airlie Beach, Queensland, Australia. Airtime manufactured the popular “Explorer”, Radne powered hang glider (featuring our propellers). The production of the Explorer is now under new management. See www.airtimeproducts.com.au for more details.
We
continue to supply and service anyone who wishes to purchase these popular propellers, including the (new) Airtime and any of the “original” customers.
Please Note : We are not in a position to offer technical support re engine / gearbox / prop combinations (we are prop manufacturers who fly bigger machines).
