I already have a propeller inspection machine. Why should I add TrueProp?TrueProp adds value to any inspection process, from manual equipment built in-house to commercial scanning devices. It has a modern Windows interface, evaluates blades with proprietary mathematics, and produces professional reports for your customers. TrueProp exposes out-of-tolerance areas, reduces manual effort, increases shop efficiency, and improves your bottom line.
Is TrueProp easy to learn and use?Absolutely. You will find a quick learning curve with TrueProp’s modern Windows interface and easy-to-understand layout that guides you through a propeller inspection from setup to reports.
How do I order TrueProp?Request ordering information by sending an email to: [email protected].
Can I use our existing pitch measurement system?Yes. TrueProp can support your propeller inspection process regardless of the device: from manual recording with a traditional drop-rod pitchometer to a fully connected digital measurement system. You can use TrueProp to help grow your business with existing equipment, and you decide when it is time to upgrade your measurement device to take advantage of a digital connection with TrueProp.
How is data acquired for TrueProp?TrueProp offers a broad range of data acquisition possibilities. Propeller blade data can be acquired via the following:
I am using an old computer to run my measurement device. Do I need to keep this computer for TrueProp?You can continue using your existing computer if you want to! TrueProp is compatible with almost all versions of Windows, including the most recent versions of Windows 10 and 11. TrueProp can be installed along-side your existing software, which is great for transitioning to TrueProp while retaining access to your old jobs and tools.
Of course, maintaining an older computer is not always easy! TrueProp makes migration and upgrading a breeze, allowing you to easily setup your pitch measuring machine with a new, modern computer. It’s by far the most flexible way to extend the life of your existing pitchometer! Does TrueProp Software sell inspection devices?Yes. TrueProp Software has developed its own entry-level pitchometer - HELIX! HELIX is currently designed for propellers up to 48 inches. The system includes fully digital measurement of angle, radius, and drop. Learn more about HELIX here.
Can I install my TrueProp license on multiple computers as a back-up?No. Your purchased TrueProp license allows it to be run on only one computer. If that computer dies, there are procedures to transfer the license to another computer so you can be up and running quickly.
Note: A Floating-License option is now available with TrueProp 2025, enabling you to work across multiple workstations. Does my computer need an internet connection?No, but having an internet connection simplifies program installation and license management. Each active TrueProp license is matched to one computer. To insure license compliance, TrueProp periodically checks the license online - which is the simplest and easiest configuration to manage. However, if your computer is not attached to the network, there is a manual activation process that can connect the license to the computer. This requires internet connection from another computer, and copy/paste of license data between these computer, such as with a USB flash drive. Yearly manual re-activation may be required, and the process for transferring a license to another computer requires payment of an administrative upgrade fee and a manual re-activation process.
Do you provide replacement parts for legacy devices?Yes. TrueProp continues to breathe new life into older pitchometers with replacement parts, upgrade kits, and conversion hardware. Read more here.
