Hi everyone....

Is there any professional opinions on my proplems with p-prop. It seems like the wood on the end-tips of the prop are pulling apart. Its been this way since I bought the trike (about 35 flying hours ago), and a lot of 'unprofessional' opinions at our small airfield says 'not a big problem'..... But it is starting to worry me now.
Any opinions on this? And where to fix if needed... And cost more or less.....

All help appriciated...
Thanx!!!

P.S. Sorry about photo quality... cell phone was only camara...

That prop has def been repaired.You can use some two part epoxy to fill the gap and the file or sand it down again. You might get a balancing propblem if you have to use a fair amount of epoxy. Best will be to send the prop to Oom Piet himself for repairs. Not sure about the cost but usually between R1500 and 2k if you want it done properly. Call him on 011 7935235

Yip - gaan sien vir oom Piet self - hy bou die P-prop. A wealth of knowledge. Hy werk van sy huis af in Randburg.
