Jim,

MT's website is pretty lame.  Do you have some information packages or 
anything that I could be studying?

Also,  should an MT prop be damaged or nicked, what is the repair procedure 
and timeline?

Thank,

Hi Cal,

I'm putting a couple drawings in the mail to you.  One of the P-810-A 
spinner, a data sheet on the MTV-9 propeller, and a drawing of the MTV-9 hub assembly

(ignore the spinner on this page).

Like all wood props, a spanwise crack in a blade is bad.  Also, a crack in 
the leading edge sheath.

Basically, the blades are fairly damage tolerant.  A Velocity over rotated 
landing at Sun-N-Fun and hit the prop before going around.  It was determined 
that there were no spanwise cracks, and the propeller diameter was greater than

the minimum allowed length.  The fix was to trim all three blades to the same 
length, and paint the tips.

Timeline depends on the damage to be repaired.  Worst case would be 
replacement of new blades from the factory.  This time would vary with their backlog,

could be a month.  Haven't found out MT Propeller factory response to AOG.  
Will advise when I know.

Hope this helps.

Jim Ayers
