I don't happen to have the specs (mechanic still has the airplane and
the logbooks -- sorry) but when I called the prop shop while it was in
for overhaul they commented that both blades were in very good shape and
near "new" specs. He expected that both would have good life left in
them after the overhaul. No sense in tossing what works, right?


Yea, sounds like in your case the new hub is the way to go. Send your
old blades in and have them attach them to the new hub. I believe they
are required by the FAA to reoverhaul the blades again but it
shouldn't be a big deal.
I know that some people who live in the South have gotten really good
deals on the eddie inspection and will just do that. I live in
California and pay up to $400 each time so its a no-brainer to dump
the old hub.
