Temporarily plugging cavitation hole
I have a couple test props lines up. One is a Merc Mirage plus with a cav. hole. Is there a way to temporarily plug the hole for testing with and without? I dont think Chicago Propeller wants me welding or epoxying their prop.

Chris-
Check with Chicago Propeller or Merc- there should be a temporary plug available. There was for the Lasers I tested when I had my Lib211. These props had one hole for each blade, and I plugged them with the temporaries first (big difference), then permanently filled them with an 2-part aircraft structural adhesive after I was dialed in.
FYI-- the temp plugs are exactly that, they don't stay in real well!
