Hi, are any builders coating the Blade Roots with grease or anti seize when attaching
them to the Hub ? The manual says there is no need.
thanks, steve vestuti.

Not exactly, but I've sprayed silicone 'grease' into the assembled joints to 
inhibit water penetration ( which then of course causes corrosion).
Fixed pitch we're talking about (as your title confirms).

corrosion measures, then ill follow suit,

Subject: Europa-List: mag drop

--> Europa-List message posted by: "Craig Ellison" <craig.ellison2@verizon.net>

All,

Almost ready for first flight.  Bob Lindsay from Calif. is here to do =
the first flight.  On final mag check we experienced a 400 rpm drop on =
both A and B ignition systems.  The engine runs smoothly (synchronized =
carbs using kit from Lockwood) and no other hint of a problem.  Pulled =
the spark plugs and checked gaps.  All close to .033in.  Most light tan =
color.  Only top on #2 looked black/sooty.

Any ideas where to go from here?  I did have a report on this list of a =
fellow builder that changed the needle settings ( mid-range) from 2 to 3 =
to achieve a slightly richer mixture in the mid-range where the mag =
check is done.  This seemed to solve his mag drop problem.  Has anyone =
else used this method with success?  If not this what else should I be =
looking at?

thanks for any and all help,
