    the bottom line it is a warp drive prop ! I don't get free props from them and I am not happy about losing an airplane because if it ,and it could ha ve been worse I could have lost my life over it, I am not saying anything else about this subject it accidentally got back on this list because Willi am sullivan asked me a question about what was happening with it and I thou ght it was a direct email from him when I replied back to him DO NOT ARCHIVE Ellery Batchelder Jr. -----Original Message----- From: Larry Cottrell <lcottrell1020@gmail.com> Sent: Sat, Jan 21, 2012 8:30 pm Subject: Re: Kolb-List: 2.5" IVO prop spacer Ellery, if I understand correctly the "warp drive Prop that you had trouble with was made by a company that doesn't exist anymore, in fact taken over or purchased by Daryl, the current warp drive manufacturer. Is that correct ? I am a bit confused, in that I have a Warp Drive prop from Daryl that I r ecently managed to send a hefty pair of side cutters through, and it didn't even leave a mark on the blades. I know that they went through them, becau se they hit the roof of my hanger and that is 15 feet off the ground. If my information is correct and Daryl had nothing to do with the manufactu re of your defective prop, fairness would require me to differentiate betwe en the two when a discussion of Warp drive props was mentioned.

Never had any kind of problem with WD products, even after sendin g exhaust pipes, bolts, etc., through them. Believe we determined recently the Warp Drive blades Ellery was using at th e time of their failure were probably first generation cored blades built b y the initial Warp Drive Company. Daryl has been the owner/manager of WD f or more than 20 years. His company, the second generation company, has onl y produced solid carbon fiber blades. WD is a big producer of solid carbon fiber blades for the airboat industry, using the same technique to build them as the UL/light plane community blades. Some of those six blade WD pr ops are being turned by 350/454 Chevy's, 6 cylinder aircraft engines, and o ther high powered exotic hot rod airboat engines. I am sure none of the ai r boat gang are using cored WD blades. I have also flown factory Kolbs with IVO props. They performed well. Only problem I can remember was the SS tape pulling loose and cutting my finger s trying to repair and replace. Remember seeing Ivo walking around Sun and Fun many, many years ago with an IVO prop over his shoulder. That was his first visit to Lakeland, with hi s prop. He was trying to generate interest to get his prop shop up and run ning. Cannot remember what year that was, but probably mid-80's. john h mkIII Titus, Alabama get="_blank">http://www.matronics.com/Navigator?Kolb-List p://forums.matronics.com blank">http://www.matronics.com/contribution -- If you forward this email, or any part of it, please remove my email addres s before sending. -= - The Kolb-List Email Forum - -= Use the Matronics List Features Navigator to browse -= the many List utilities such as List Un/Subscription, -= Archive Search & Download, 7-Day Browse, Chat, FAQ, -= Photoshare, and much much more: - -= --> http://www.matronics.com/Navigator?Kolb-List - -======================== -= - MATRONICS WEB FORUMS - -= Same great content also available via the Web Forums! - -= --> http://forums.matronics.com - -======================== -= - List Contribution Web Site - -= Thank you for your generous support! -= -Matt Dralle, List Admin. -= --> http://www.matronics.com/contribution -========================

    Seems like I read that the real hard bolts aren't recommended for prop bolts because they are a bit brittle. My prop hub (PowerFin) requires a much lower torque rating than the softer SAE 5 bolts can handle anyway so that is what I use. Also I use a standard nut on my prop bolts so that I can get accurate torque settings. My prop flange isn't threaded. Then I put a nylock nut on as a lock nut.

    Subject: Some things to check before covering the fuselage pod
    From: Richard Girard <aslsa.rng@gmail.com>
    After spending over an hour removing two screws and getting a sore back in the process, I thought I'd offer this to any builders out there. Before you cover the fuselage, assuming of course that you've installed all the goodies in the fuselage first, check to be sure that all the fasteners are accessible with ordinary hand tools. Mk III builders of both kinds, check how hard it is to get at things when your only access is through the door frames. Check to see that all those nylon ties are trimmed to eliminate any sharp ends (see photo of what happens when they're not) Basically, think maintenance. How will you get to any item in the pod to check, lubricate, or replace it as required. Believe me, spending an hour to remove two screws that were installed upside down where there isn't room between the screw head and the fabric covering is not fun. Okay, back to the hangar to install the new instrument pod pedestal and see how much weight was saved by taking out the solid wood console.

    Sounds as though you are concerned about compromising a lawsuit. Just to be clear, I don't get free props from Warp either, but I did get what I paid for and that was a damn good strong prop for my airplane. I don't have an axe to grind in any of this, just wanted some clarification since what was called a Warp drive by you, didn't match with what I have on my plane.

    Subject: Re: 2.5" IVO prop spacer
    Hi Rick I looked into the "hardness issue some while ago". The bolts are not "brittle" they are stronger in tensile sheer and tension. Its the same with grade 8 bolts they are much stronger than 5 which in turn are equivalent to AN bolts, and same with grade 10 bolts. The price difference is small so I opt for the stronger stuff whenever I can. I agree that in most applications the cheapest bolt we can find is more than adequate, but as a matter of personal satisfaction, and cheap prop for my ego I spend a few pannies more and buy the stronger ones. Hell if I was bigger, better, richer, and better looking maybe I would not want to over compensate but it is what it is, or maybe I just like the best quality whether I need it or not. :-) Here is a table I found by a quick search, I am sure there are better tables out there. http://www.engineersedge.com/hex_bolt_identification.htm ================================= ---- Rick Neilsen <neilsenrm@gmail.com> wrote: ============ Seems like I read that the real hard bolts aren't recommended for prop bolts because they are a bit brittle.

    From: Larry Cottrell <lcottrell1020@gmail.com>
    I don't mean to butt into a private conversation, but when I decided to put a spacer between my Warp Drive Prop, and my HKS I asked about finding AN aircraft bolts for it and someone informed me that the 8.8 bolts were what was needed and the harder bolts were not better for the simple reason that they were too hard and therefore brittle. I may be wrong, but I believe it was Daryl of Warp Drive that told me so. For what it is worth!

    George, I was the one who wired my firefly originally and have 170 hours on it. Do I need to run the brown wire from the engine to the airframe? That is the only one in question. It seems Crazy at this point, but I may not have had it right ,all along. Ed Diebel (FF 62) In a message dated 1/22/2012 4:13:46 P.M.

    Subject: Re: 2.5" IVO prop spacer
    Yes I have run into this myth several times over the years, it reminds me of the over square myth that was a fairly widespread reality back in the 70's. It finally went away, not sure if it was me or that people finally thought about it. In any case and the best comparison I can make is the difference between 1100 aluminum and 2024 aluminum. Or another away is that by the time you would reach the brittle factor between grade 5 and grade 8 the grade 5 has already failed, I am too lazy to look for fatigue or brittle factor between the grades but as a SWAG I say we would not find much of a difference if any. But I would love to be corrected, anytime I learn something factually new I am happy.
