Hi Isvance 54,
I fly an Allegro 2000 E-LSA with a Woodcomp Klassic 160/3/R. In Sept. of 20
16 I had an engine loss of coolant incident that required me to replace the
cylinder heads. Around that same time I was made aware of the Woodcomp Ser
vice Bulletin 02/2012 EN dated Nov 8 2012. Up until then I had no idea that
Woodcomp had issued a service bulletin. At that time I had 700 Hours on th
e original Woodcomp propeller and my airplane and the propeller was 10 year
s old. The closest Authorized Woodcomp Testing Facility to me was Sportair
USA LC in North Little Rock, AR. I contacted them and they told me that bec
ause of the age of the propeller and their experience it was most likely my
propeller would fail the testing and they recommended I purchase a new pro
peller. I ask if I could just purchase the blades and re-use the hub. They
said no because of the slight changes in the new blades. I ended up having
to purchase new blades, hub and bolts ($1200.00)
You can contact them at:

From: "lsvance54" <lsvance@comcast.net>
I just completed the LSRM-A repairman course and found a Service Bulletin o
n the
Woodcomp Propeller that I did not previously know about.
Apparently, my 2006 Allegro 2000 should have been grounded for a propeller
overhaul
as of 2012. The Woodcomp Klassic 160 has a 6 year/ 950 hour TBO.
Anyone have a U.S. source for overhaul? Is there an alternate prop that has
a better
TBO or longer age limit?

I would encourage you to communicate with Doug at Allegro USA.. He would be
the
one that would know how to respond to this question.

As you know, you're NOT limited to specific age requirements. It can be evaluated
on-condition and signed off by you.

I refer you to the Willette letter. As you might know, the FAA legal
department interprets their regulations. This interpretation become
the FAA's official position on a subject unless the FAA is taken to
court and a judge disagrees.
The short of it is that the FAA is always above the manufacturer. The manufacturer
can't over-extend their authority. They also can't stop you from using alternative
methods acceptable to the administrator, such as on-condition inspection.
I've attached the letter.
Doug will also refer you to the same.
You can perform an on-condition inspection on an S-LSA and an E-LSA. This is a
practice acceptable to the administrator and is absolutely the norm. I've worked
on several Allegros. I don't believe any of them had replaced their prop
simply due to the bulletin.
Best regards,
Bradley Pearce
