**Shameless Plug Warning**

My fourth aviation article is about to hit the stands. The next "Aviation
Safety" will have a piece I wrote on prop nicks.

You do read "Aviation Safety" don't you? If not, you should.

Congratulations!

I just use a high speed grinder with a coarse wheel to take care of
the little ones. Same one I use to sharpen the law mower blades.:-))

The last I heard from Continental, anything more than a nick that
could not be removed with minor dressing now requires an engine
disassembly. You no longer have to give something a serious whack
with the prop.

Sounds to me like the bean counters at Continental have discovered another
profit center and the lawyers another rear end decoration. The mass of the
prop and the softness of aluminum should allow it to experience a lot of
damage before the crank and other engine components are seriously strained.
I think engine stoppage is still a good gauge of weather a teardown is
required. Glad I have a Lycoming.
