Default Source for NYCO GN3058

Need to lube the new prop. This stuff seems to be unobtanium in the U.S.

Any suggestions? Did a search, but nothing comes up.

Didn’t a new prop come pre-lubed? Note Hartzel cautions to not over-lube.
I’d ask around at a prop overhaul shop. Maybe they can spare some. Have you tried calling NYCO?

According to the Hartzell manual:

"New or newly overhauled propellers should be lubricated after the first one to two hours of operation because centrifugal loads will pack and redistribute grease which can result in a propeller imbalance. Redistribution of grease may also result in voids in the blade bearing area where moisture can collect."

Got it handled. Thank you to the person that PM'd me.

Ottosen Propeller has it and they're in Phoenix.
