Any wood propeller with metal rivet sheathing should be inspected regularly and at pre-flight for cracks, discoloration, lose rivets, etc. and any repairs to be done by a qualified repair shop.

Did Ron Alexander do anything illegal or not in accordance with any FARs? Of course not. But Bill Reynolds and I do think that the desire to "keep it original" was a contributing factor. Would you not agree that just because my state allows an owner of a car built before seat belts were standard equipment to not have the install them, and risk can be better managed by installing them. I didn't use the word safe. I used the term "manage risk". And that is why Bill Reynolds wrote what he did, and I reposted. The chances of an experimental aircraft act having an off field landing at some point are fairly good, no matter how well the airplane is built. Ask William Wynne if he wished he had had braided fuel lines instead of hard lines in his accident, and ask Kevin Purtee if he regretted spending the money on braided fuel lines that prevented fuel from escaping in his accident. I think you know both answers. As a good friend likes to say, "Life is full of choices." We can all choose which types of fuel lines to use. Bill and I just want to point out the potential results of certain choices. You may see it otherwise and that is your right. -------- Semper Fi, Terry Hand Athens, GA Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=463909#463909 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message pietenpol-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Pietenpol-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/pietenpol-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/pietenpol-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
