The 'Wood Airplane Guru' in our area says T88 is hard on his planner blades, so he uses Aeropoxy on his props. I've built 3 props, two for the ModelA, and one for the Continental. The first one for the Model A used Aeropoxy, but I could chistle it apart at the glue joints. I used T88 on the next two. I've been wanting to carve a Scimitar Prop for my Pietenpol, using the methods in the book 'How to Carve a Prop' by Eric Clutton. Does anyone have anyinfomation on someone that used his methods for carving a Scimitar Prop ?Chuck G.p.s. We've got some beautiful weather today in Kansas, so it's time to -Kick the Tires,Twang the Wires,and Light the Fires !!________________________________________________________________________________

I'm not sure what adhesive Tennessee Props uses. But I am very very happywith the quality of workmanship. Flight data still to be proven, butappearance and quality are top notch. They also put a nice Urethane leadingedge on it (outter 2/3 of the blade) for an addition $50. Out here in thedesert where dirt strips are everywhere it was a no-brainer to get thatoption.I ran it on the test stand up to 2900rpm and it tracked perfectly.I'll try to give them a call and see what they use.DJ----- Original Message -----
