Default New prop, one less AD, and some great customer service from Hartzell

: Congrats to Hartzell and Kevin for stepping up to the plane and
: accepting some responsibility for a marginal design of the hub. A
: very nobel act in this day and age..

: A "marginal design" that has worked without problems since the 70's.
: Certainly much more reliable than anything Lycoming, Cont., Cessna,
: King, etc have ever made.

: -Robert

Engineering (*especially in aviation*) is about making something as strong as necessary, but no stronger.
