My propeller has been inspected by the manufacturer. Apparently the wrong type
of thread lock (permatex) was used by the overhaul shop, that assembled it last
winter. All of the pin base bolts had lost torque, and the failure occuured
as a result of loose bolts on the pin base that failed. The prop is being repaired
and the proper thread lock (locktite) is being used. I had noticed one blade
seemed a little looser over the last few weeks and had planned to have it
looked at by the prop shop on the way to my next show....didn't make it that long
:) I would suggest checking the blades by twisting them in pitch and have
any looseness inspected. The bottom line is that this was an error in reasssembly
by a prop shop and not a problem with the propeller design...
Thanks to all who called and wrote...
