I had a loss of pitch control on one blade of my Whirlwind 400C this
weekend. We have disassembled the hub and found that it is not a manufacturing
problem. The AN bolt, that holds the pin base to the propeller shank, failed.
It
appears that this failure has nothing to do with the design or construction of
the 400C, but is merely a typical fastener failure.
If anyone would like more details just give me a call.
Thanks,
