FAIL, MIKE ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 03:35:13 AM PST US From: "blairclan" Subject: Rocket-List: extension --> Rocket-List message posted by: "blairclan" MIKE, That is a good point... I purchased my overhauled short hub prop at a very good price. In Australia the long hub versions are virtually unavailable unless new. The saving at the time was over $8000. I did seek professional advice before making the d. If money was no object I would buy the longer hub prop. Actually I'd probably buy a composite three blader. For me at least, the choice was easy. The beauty of home builts! Wouldn't you agree?

WORK OK. I DON'T WANT YOU TO THINK I AM SAYING BAD THINGS ABOUT YOUR PLANE, PERHAPS YOU COULD FIND A' M' HUB. AND HAVE IT SWAPED OVER. CAN YOU IMPORT OR HAVE ONE SHIPPED TO YOUR COUNTRY, I KNOW A PROP SHOP IN FLA. HP PROPELLERS, THEY MAY HAVE ONE. MIKE ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 09:38:38 AM PST US From: "Kevin Shannon" Subject: Rocket-List: RE: Prop extensions --> Rocket-List message posted by: "Kevin Shannon" Yes, I agree these are good points to consider, I am closely examining all the available options before I make the choice. I have plenty of time before I actually need the prop in hand. I would have to think that the short hub and extension version is stronger than a cast extension "M" hub, if you consider the additional flanged sections. However, I have not seen a cross section of an "M" hub either, so I could be wrong about that. The extra place to leak oil aspect is a definite downer. Maybe my wife will buy me a branny new Hartzell with the right hub for my 50th birthday..HA!

Getting to go to sleep early is good too. :-) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kevin Shannon" Subject: Rocket-List: RE: Prop extensions > --> Rocket-List message posted by: "Kevin Shannon" > > Yes, I agree these are good points to consider, I am closely examining > all the available options before I make the choice.

I used it for about 200 hrs. I then gave it to a friend to use on his HRII. I think he has about 700 hrs. on his Rocket now. I did light aerobatics with my RV-4. The extension has never caused any problems. I have seen the Sabre extension and it really looks good. I would have no problem using it. I am using an MT on my Rocket.
