Newspaper shims work very well for wood props.

Rich, if it isn't, how do you fix that? I've heard this a lot and it
makes sense that you want the prop tracking properly, but how do you
do it?


Nevermind Rich, jls answered the question.


Corky........

I've been able to adjust the track on my prop about 1/16" by varying the
torque on the bolts slightly (but still within upper & lower limits). It
is now within 1/16" of perfect - close enough for me. If it was 1/8" and
wouldn't straighten out further, I'd send it back to the maker; assuming
my prop flange was dialed in.

Speaking of that, I guess if a prop flange was off a few thousandths, you
could set up the prop on the flange so the errors would tend to cancel
out.
