I'm just curious from buys like Bunk and other E-2/C-2 types out there.

What is wrong with the prop system on these things? It seems like pitch lock is a common cause of these mishaps, and I hear nothing but bad things about NP2000. Delamination in the rain? Water in the padeyes delaminating the tips? I had an Egyptian Col tell me there was no way they were buying NP2000.

Just seems with all the prop systems out there that have decades of performance and reliability, why we need to keep reinventing the wheel.

I ask all this from what I'm hearing about this recent incident, and the Hawkeyes inability to stay airborn with a prop pitch locked at fine.
