Propeller leading edge protection

[Abe]

Does anyone know of a source of metal leading edge protection that can be glued to a carbon fibre prop? At EAA 322 last week the guys talked knowingly - "yes, usually nickel, stainless better, titanium is available...." but the only lead was: "talk to Peter de Necker". I just did, but he only rivets SS.

Hi Abe!
Take your prop to Peter de Necker. He knows what he is doing. :D

Ditto... have had 2 props done by Peter and its the best investment you wil make on your prop.

Another excellent form of protection is to fit a belly bag or the netting that the Aussies sell.

I have also put a rubber flap on the back of the front wheel

Also to excercise care when taking off and landing at gravel strips - never gun the motor from a standing start, and kill the motor as soon as its safe & you can to coast to a stop on landing
