| Subject: | Woodcomp Three Blade Prop |
Tim: I just received the prop tape sold by Powerfin and will be putting it
on my Woodcomp prop this week. I will let you know how it performs. By the
way, where are you located? Also, what were the circumstances surrounding
the wrecking of the Allegro at Sanford?

Hugh,
My airplane is the one that was wrecked in Sanford in 2006. It has been
rebuilt, but is re-registered as an E-LSA. The wings are still in primer,
but so far everything is performing fine other than a plastic brake line
that broke a couple of weeks ago. It looks like it hot too hot at the
caliper and had a "blow-out". I wonder if this has happened to anyone else.

other matter, that does not surprise me at all. In fact I am surprised you
received it at all!! How is you airplane performing?

Hugh,
I replaced my tape with the tape used by the Powerfin propeller company. It
is more durable than the factory tape and does not show signs of creeping.
A note of interest that is off the subject...I ordered a flap eyebolt from
Sanford on May 2nd 2008; I received it today.

Subject: Allegro-List: Woodcomp Three Blade Prop
I am interested in further comments on protecting the leading edge of the
WoodComp three blade prop. As stated before, the prop which is on my Allegro
2000 had what appeared to be black electrical tape on the leading edge. Over
time the centrifugal force of the rotating prop has caused he tape to creep
towards the tips of each blade to the point I have now removed the remaining
tape. This tape was on the leading edge to offer some protection during
operation. What has been the experience of others who have this prop and
tape on their aircraft. I have gotten some information about using a 3M tape
product, but would like to know what other alternatives may be available. I
am also interested in what type adhesive would be required to keep any other
type tape from creeping just as the original tape did.
