Russ-
I used a crowfoot endwrench on a regular Sears torque wrench. The crows
foot wrench is the type that clicks onto a socket wrench- some might
refer to them as offset end wrenches. I bought mine at Checker or
Autozone in a six piece set for cheap. I am using a basic needle type
sears torque wrench. These have small head on them that clears
surrounding prop parts whereas my larger dial type torque wrench will
not get into the hub close enough. Remember the extended effective
length of the crows foot wrench on the torque wrench adds torque to the
reading from the wrench. I figured it out once- I think it adds less
than a pound of torque to the actual value being read.

What are you guys using to torque the bolts on the prop? Is there a
special, expensive tool that I have to have?!

I think that if the Crow's Foot is on the torque wrench at a 90 degree
angle to the shaft of the wrench so that the center of the bolt would be
the same distance from the handle as the center of the square drive were
the socket would normally attach then the torque would be accurate. So the
question is can you get the necessary clearance with the torque wrench at a
90 to the Crow's Foot.

I figure even the slowest should enter, as you get a pass to the presidents
club (free food and drink at show center all weekend) and entry to the show
plus a pass (passes) for your crew. Cheaper and more fun than buying your
way in. If you get to be an alternate, you can really get your drinking
money's worth, as you won't be flying!! If you get to fly, even last place
pays. Not a bad deal.
