Default What to use to plug vent holes?
I have a turbo prop and they don't make any plugs for the vent holes(they are actually slots).

Should I get them welded or is there something else I can use around the garage since I don't have a welder?

We can weld them. We would only do this if the prop is blowing out heavily during planning.

Vent holes can be added and sutracted as needed.

Thanks Brett. I had a local shop weld them. Not pretty but it worked.

Blowing out heavily is an understatement. I couldn't even get on plane with the holes open.

If you want them pretty, send them to us during the winter and we'll make it so you never knew they existed.

Brett, I may be sending you the prop anyway. Does Turbo leave much on the table with the Lightning prop?
