I read in most places that the prop should stop in the 4 and 10 o?clock position.
After our prop was re-installed after fixing a seal leak, by an A&P mechanic, it now stops at 2 and 8 o?clock.
Plane runs and flys fine with no unusual vibration.
Questions:
Does it really matter where the prop stops, or is it just convention?
If it does matter? Why?
The plane goes in for condition inspection next week.
Heeding the principle of ?If it ain?t broke, don?t fix it? should I have the prop re-clocked?
Information:
RV 4 with a fixed pitch metal Sensenich on a Lycoming O 360
I am not the original builder.
Your input greatly appreciated.
