Go for it. As die weer saam speel is ek vanmiddag daar.

Just had a phone call from Asterix. GeelKerneels is terug op Microland so ek hoef nie alleen te vlieg nie (^^)

For those of you who are not digitally disadvataged (tegnologies gestrem): I found a nifty little free program called "Glympse" that tracks my whereabouts when flying. If you are interested, SMS me your cell number and I will send you a "Glypmpse". It is a link to a website that you can access via pc or phone that shows a map with the tracklog and position of the person that sent you the Glympse.

Blue skies.

Morning Alpha,

I hope you come right...you can call Johan Henning,he had the exact same problem with his 503..07 Twee 3 Ate 9 46Zeven2

I have removed my prop for it to be repaired,now I want to put it back,is there anything special i should do?I know I should torque it,I was told to track it..what is tracking and how do you track a prop?

The only tracking I know is when you have get as fast as possible away from a skydiving formation for good deployment separation..yeeehaaa ##

If it is a wooden prop you need to torque it so that the blades run on the same "track". Measure the distance from the flat side of the blade tip to a fixed point on your plane (use a broomstick or similar if you have nothing else). Turn the prop 180 degree and measure same for the other blade. Now torque the bolts on the side that needs to go closer to the fixed point.

Hope this makes sense.

Hi Rafiek,

Yeah I hope I come right as for the prop, look at what bugwar said he is about right...what I did was I used a steel ruler and measure from where the pylon meets the rear wheel booms to the prop...did it a few times, but distance wise I got a track between both blades of about a 2mm difference, according to Pete De Necker this is good...

Let me know if I can help...I am at klip this pm...
