TURBOJACK
TURBOJACK, Thank's for stopping in the shop the other day, Yes the props as you saw were out of balance bad and the trailing edges and tip's were off. doc needed about 400 more rpm,I thinned them out repitched and balanced and polished ,I also trimmed the trailing edge in the pitch line of the cup for more rpm but added some on the tips .I hope we hit it right on the money as the cupping is very critical as not enough or just a little too much will make the world of difference. But with a little more lift we are hoping the rpm and speed will increase. let us know when the chance arrives.

I looked at one of the props before it was reworked. As bad as it looked before being reworked, I am currios as to how much better they will run now.

prop scan
prop scan is availabe for my use when needed, the machine run's 60,000.00 and i do not own one , the scanning machine really comes in to play when working on large inboard propellers. I use the traditional pitch block ,pitch and rake indicators on most all of the work.
