Polishing your prop?
Is polishing your prop legal?
Now that we've got ours almost done, of course one of our airport wags mentioned that it might not be acceptable -- despite the fact that every 10th plane you see has one. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"

Probably not. See http://www.aopa.org/whatsnew/newsite...03-3-140x.html Dang. And we just finished it today. It took two days of stripping, Scotch Guarding, wet sanding with 220, then 400, then 600, and a whole bunch of Simichrome and Mother's polish -- but it looks fabulous! Guess I'll have to ground myself now...  -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"

Ha! Yeah, I had it pressed and steam-cleaned, too... Sheesh. My hands are so sore from sanding, Scotch Guarding would probably do them good. How the hell do people strip planes for a living? And how do people keep bare aluminum planes shiny? Speaking of which, why is THAT legal, if a polished prop isn't? Weren't those planes "painted at the factory", and now they don't have sufficient "anti-corrosion protection"? -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"

Actually, I believe most of the shiny, polished, bare aluminum planes I've seen were not painted at the factory.

Paint is an option.
