It seems, as I remember, a vibration was felt, he landed immediatly (at the homebase airport), and found the problem before an inflight emergency occured...3 of the 4 bolts were broken. I originally thought it was an isolated incident, but now I'm very concerened about this set up. Last week I went up to see Gus Webe, and had him get started on my prop blank, and hole pattern. I plan on finishing the carving myself. Should I have him hold off drilling the holes, till we find more info ?????? I think I'll call Gus tomorrow...I hope he didn't drill the holes yet !!!Chuck Gantzer________________________________________________________________________________
