Hi there,
I have a question about installing a fixed pitch prop that I am hoping someone will know the answer too.
Is there a correct way to install a fixed pitch prop in terms of orientation when cylinder no.1 is a TDC? Does it even matter?
The reason I ask is because I notice that prior to me removing my prop during the winter, it ran very smooth indeed. I then put it back on, and probably not at the same orientation to the way it was (yea, I know.. should have marked it etc..), but now I seem to have a lot more vibration.
I have double checked the bolts, hub etc.. and all is good there. Is this just because I need to get my prop and spinner dynamically balanced or is it something else? Note: It has not been dynamically balanced yet even prior to the removal.
Do I need to put the prop at say the 10/4 location, or 12/6 when at TDC no.1?
I really have no clue about this, so any expertise that is out there would be appreciated.
