Since my prop is Sensenich as apposed to a Jabiru prop, do the Belleville washers have to be used per the Jabiru install instructions?. I read that the washers are used because the Jab prop is a soft wood. The Sensenich prop instruction don't call for these washers. 2.) The alternate propeller installation method described by Jabiru for their props shows the mounting bolts installed in the reverse direction as compared to the standard assembly method. I would like to install my bolt in the opposite direction as well. I have a clearance problem with the prop locknut's being real close the cowling. Installing the bolts reversed will solve the problem. Thanks in advance for your comments and suggestions -------- Dan Mc Intyre Kitfox Model IV, Jab 2200 Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=194760#194760 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 02:22:23 PM PST US From: "THOMAS SMALL" Subject: Re: JabiruEngine-List: Sensenich prop install, 2200 > 1.)

I am not an expert so take this FWIW: When changing from the original Jab prop to a Sensenich about fifty hours ago I did not use the belleville washers but what the Sensenich diagram called for. Torque values have held through three checks. I also have reversed the direction of the bolt/nut with no problems. CAVU jeff HDS/3300 > 2.)

As far as I could determine, the "alternate prop mounting" service bulletin that came out was for the softer Jabiru-made props. At least that's what I read into that bulletin, and ignored it for my Sensenich prop installation. I think that the reason for the multiple washers was to allow the washers to flex enough to maintain torque throughout humidity changes with that softer prop material. I spoke with Pete about this and I'm pretty certain that it was from him that I got the info needed to ignore the bulletin in my case. If still in doubt, give him a call or email him before he heads for Oshkosh. Or try calling Jim at Pacific Jabiru, as he'll still be there....Pacific time zone and all that.
