GSC Propellor

[Jono]

Ahh...yes.... I do remember that we had the hub machined down a few thou (or there abouts) during the build process to give a better clamp as per someones recommendation.

I use my old GSC prop everyday ....... as exterior wall art for my shop:

Here is how to mount your GSC propeller.

Steve and Pete, nice photos and as I said , they are great looking props.

Actually with proper care and following the manufacturer's recommendations , you can safely fly them. I just don't like to work that hard to change pitch on a prop then worry if I damaged the blades.

Pete,
The clock idea is great, but one of us has the prop mounted upside down. It must be you!

Yeah, just like a horseshoe, Steve, yours is holding all the luck!

I would inspect it closely, ground run it for the one hour engine break-in period, check it over again, retorque and fly it if it still looks OK. Flew mine for 8 years and 500 hours and it worked great. Very smooth on the 582. Changed to a PowerFin not because of anything wrong with the wood prop but I wanted a prop that would handle a bit of rain better. My plane was garaged in a climate controlled environment but if yours was stored indoors I would think it would be OK.

You see Steve, this prop was once on an Aussie Kitfox. So, that's why it's mounted upside down.

Perez,
Yep. Got it. It all makes sense now.

I thought the rotation was reversed when south of the equator!
