Hi Jim & Heather,
Good spotting!
This looks like a typical SAE4130 weld heat affected zone crack. We see it in motorsport
constructions regularly. It looks like the parts were not suitably tempered
after welding. Although prevalent in the US, this grade is nearly never
used in European aircraft construction because of this problem.
Luckily I have my ship in the garage at the moment and I will be checking it carefully.
That could have caused an exciting landing!!
Congratulations
Barry

Chris,
DUC has appeared at the UK LAA rally for the last few years and has been very keen
to try the latest type Swirl in a Europa. Initially they were prepared to
lend a prop to try, then later wanted full price up front (refundable if returned
unmarked as 'unsuitable'); at which point I lost interest.
Your local DUC dealer may be able to offer something better, if you wanted to try
first.
Either way, a slippery relatively overpowered aircraft (Europa + 912ULS) can get
away easily with a good fixed pitch, unless ultimate short field performance
is sought.

Subj: Europa-List: Propeller DUC or Woodcomp
I have the opportunity to buy either a used DUC or Woodcomp fixed pitch prop for
my europa project. They are both very low use time and well priced. I kind of
like the wide chord look of the woodcomp but is the DUC Prop really worth looking
into?. They look kind of strange with the narrow chord. Is the pseudo good
for takeoff and cruise claim they make real?

Thanks for the reply Duncan. Too bad there is no one with first hand experience
to compare.
Anyhow, I waited too long and the DUC is gone. I got the Woodcomp from my friend
instead. Will be a good prop to get started and then salivate about going faster
once I start flying my europa around :) I like the wide blade looks of it
and should be fine.
Chris
