Some have said that they used several hours and several drill bits to clean it out. Here's how I did it. Takes about an hour to do. http://www.usi.edu/science/chemistry/vfrazier/Engine%20and%20Prop.htm I can't say if it helps cooling, but it certainly looks like it would.

I can still accept addition propeller orders for an MT Propeller at the special price. MT Propeller custom designs their propeller for the engine/airframe and expected performance. They have electric and hydraulic CS propellers available to match alternative engines which have the standard SAE (and some other) propeller flanges. 2 blade CS propellers. 3 blade CS propellers. (2nd order harmonic removed. Much smoother running than 2 blade.) 4 blade CS propeller. (John Harmon said that the four blade MT Propeller he tried was the smoothest running propeller he has ever flown. And he had previously flown the 3 blade MT Propeller.) Tom Appleby had a nice looking 4 blade MT Propeller on his HR2 at Oshkosh this year. Anyone notice it? If anyone interested in the 4 blade propeller, MT Propeller has said that they can design a 4 blade propeller for the Rocket and Lycoming 540 engine with the same performance as their 3 blade propeller. Expected cost excluding shipping: 4 blade CS propeller - $8,900 4 blade CS propeller with counterweighted blades - $9,800 Price subject to change without notice. California residents add applicable sales tax. (My lawyer made me say that.)
