I have 1/4 ''difference one one blade on mine. The 2 other blades are tracking exactly the same and my pitch is set perfectly similar on each 3 blades. Thanks Jack Model 4- 1200 Rotax 912 ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 06:23:37 AM PST US Subject: Kitfox-List: Re: warp drive tracking From: "jerrytex" >From the Warp Drive Website: http://www.warpdriveinc.com/faq.html What is blade tracking and what is the approved tracking tolerance? 1/2 an inch is acceptable. Make sure the blades are all at the same pitch before checking the tracking. When rotating, the tip of each propeller blade moves in a circle. This circle defines a plane of rotation. If each blade were tracking perfectly, the planes traced by the blade tips would be parallel. Due to several factors, the planes of rotation may not be parallel.

A half inch seems like a bit much to me. I always got a little excited when it got close to an eighth inch. I checked my Warp documents and they mentioned nothing about tracking, so checked on line. I found one site that recommended 1/8" max. and another that mentioned 1/16" +or-, which are identical recommendations. I do know this, though, with a very slow moving ceiling fan, a half inch out of track will set up a considerable wobble.
