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,

Skip
