Hey all, I'd sure appreciate ideas here.I have an unused ole fahlin prop probably made in the fiftiesIt is in perfect shape. No delamination, good joints, metal edging tight,woodsound, etc.Can I use it? Can a prop co inspect it?I'd like to be able to use it if my cloud car prop ever gets hurt since I hearjay is quitting.Douwe Sent from my iPhone________________________________________________________________________________Date: Sat, 13 Sep 2014 09:33:57 -0700

Douwe Hi!I had a Flottorp 72" X 50" that was circa 1943 but looked in fair condition.Rather than use it without a second opinion I did send it to a Prop Manufacturercalled Hercules Props here in England.They stripped varnish, checked laminations (25!) then revarnished and balanced.It works great and cost 200. I also got a Certificate of Conformance for the LAA.RegardsGerry________________________________________________________________________________Date: Sat, 13 Sep 2014 10:25:47 -0700

Douwe,=0A=0A=0AWould a prop company be able to see anything you can't? I doubt it. I say use it. To be certain, install and run it on the ground awhile.=0A=0A=0ADan Helsper=0ALoenslo
