Pietenpol-List: Prop borings

Post by matronics »

Original Posted By: "Alan Lyscars"
I have a wooden prop which I plan to install on a Model-A engine in my Aircamper.The drillings that were in the hub when I got it just don't look right. They'rea little out of round and I don't think the centers are exactly on-themoney (because of the difficulty I have in getting the prop onto the hub). I'dlike to hear what you fellows recommend to correct this. I'm thinking of epoxyinga close-fitting hardwood plug in each hole and redrilling with a Foresterbit, using a vertical mill to locate the hole centers. One could also redrillthe holes and epoxy a steel insert in each hole, then drill the inserts. Whatd'yathink???...CarlVought________________________________________________________________________________
