Care and maintenance of a Wood Prop?
Care and maintenance of a Wood Prop?
I have just bought an RV4 with the O-360 180 Hp and a Aymar Demuth wood Propellers 68/82
Can anyone point me in the right direction on where I can get the information that I need to perform the maintenance in regards to cleaning and dressing the tiny nicks on the leading edge and small dents in the back side? Over all it looks in good shape.
This prop appears to be coated in a varnish with a heavy white paint on the tips and some sort of insert on the leading edge that runs from the spinner out maybe ? of the way to the tip.
Then the blade tightening sequence that we should do once or twice a year. I live in Alberta Canada so the humidity is fairly dry here.
I was told the Max Rpm for this prop is 2600. Why can?t I run 2700 rpm?
Thanks
Tim
