When to replace a prop?
Our Macauley prop was last overhauled (new blades) in 1991. It was
re-sealed and checked by a prop shop in 1997. It has approximately 2400 hours on it. It's still in spec, doesn't leak, works fine. Our A&P owned a prop shop in the 1990s, and is very knowledgeable about these things -- but even he has no hard & fast rule of thumb for replacement of a prop. He's very much a "condition" guy (and it's apparently in good condition), but I'm getting nervous about the age of this thing. When the heck do you replace a prop? -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"
