All,
The problems with Hartzell V shank blades and the AD limitations, 1000 hour
OH etc can be addresses by re machining the V shank hubs ( provided the
blades are within OH limits) to fit later hubs. This eliminated the limited
life and inspections and the hub problems, and gives you a 2000 hour prop.
And the later hubs ( I think they are referred to as M hubs, but don't
quote me) do not have the sting of ADs of the V hubs.
Cheers,
Bill Hamilton.
PS Fortunately I have four blades almost full section, and two hubs that
are no where near the minimum limits, thank goodness, the old hubs are
almost no existent new, and good used about the same.
Beware some of the "paper STC's" from McCauley, a conversion on later
C-3120s has been withdrawn for early models, there is some weird resonance
interaction, feels like you have lost a few inches off the tip of a blade.

All,
I had a 4 hour delay the day the day Clinton had his hair cut on the end of
25R at KLAX, they should have cut his throat, I already had a 15 hour
flight time sector ahead of me, we just made it with minuted to spare in
our heavy crew duty limit of 20h, I was on the way to Melbourne YMML,
direct from KLAX.
What was so infuriating about the episode is that there are two perfectly
good, ( and more secure than the eastern fence at KLAX, right by a main
road) VIP spots on the western remote ramp, where AirForce 1 and similar
always go.
Cheers,
Bill Hamilton.

Good morning all,
Some of you might remember me as being the guy who has been asking all these strange
questions about Shrikes for a book I have been writing. Well, the good news
is that it has been accepted for publishing - I signed the (paper) contract
this week and the publishers agree to publish within a year.
Thank you for all the information you've sent me, and special thanks to Kevin Coons
who has been very patient, answering all my nagging questions! Also to Jim
Driskell (I'm not sure if he is on this list) for reading my manuscript and
correcting the mistakes and assumptions I had made - thank you, Jim.
To all of you who passed on information - you know who you are - many thanks.
The book is called "Where Vultures Roost", and will be published under a pseudonym
of "Josh Stafford" - my younger son's name is Joshua; my elder son is Stafford.
Going (a long way) back to Tylor's question of:>>> "It was a dark and stormy night
as I flew my trusty Aero Commander 500S (500A, B, U, 680F, 560F) around the
thunder storms to deliver the mail." Is that how it begins? <<<
No, Tylor, I'm afraid you'll have to wait until the book comes out in print! But
to whet your appetite, here's the synopsis that I was thinking of putting in
the dust cover:
----------
In Africa there is a belief that vultures do not live on the earth; they fly high
above the savannah, only descending to feed on carrion, and after gorging themselves
they are too heavy to return to the sky, so they roost in trees nearby
the kill site.
Africa has had more than its share of hardships, from famine to disease, from dictators
to death. The southern tip of Africa has been in the grip of a white
minority government that has taught the black man to hate the white man, and the
white man to hate all races but his own. But, in that small war torn country
to the north, now known as Zimbabwe, two young boys of different ethnic backgrounds
forge a bond of friendship that bridges the chasm that separates their
races, a friendship that will lead to an offer of the ultimate sacrifice.
From the dusty plains of Zimbabwe's southern Matabeleland there is a cry of outrage,
of an evil that has visited this idyllic setting, for a nyanga - an African
witch doctor - has determined that a particular child be brought to him for
sacrifice. Joseph Lee is faced with a terrible decision, one that could cost
him his life, or worse yet, the lives of his friend and young son. Can Joseph
overcome this evil that has visited his family? What price is he prepared to
pay to protect those whom he loves?
Set in the nineteen sixties through to the mid nineteen eighties, "Where Vultures
Roost" is a tragic tale of Africa, a place where love and compassion co-exist
with the brutality of age-old pagan rituals. It is a tale of friendship and
bravery, of love and despair, and of the sacrifices we must make to overcome
evil. But most of all, it is a story about the harsh reality of life on the African
bushveld.
----------
Remember the story is not about the Shrike, I only reference it in the book...
OK, I reference it quite a lot!
I'll let you all know when it comes out in print.
Regards,
Andrew.

Bill;
I am coming up on my hub (not the prop) 250 hrs. inspection this year.
What is involved in changing hubs and does it apply to the 560E, 3 blade
props? I know Capt. Jimbob, has an STP to change the whole thing out for a
'heavy Hartzell', but will this also change both to a 2000 hr. prop? Where
do I find out the detail and who can do this?
Don
