I removed my Catto prop several times each year. Actually every time I remov
ed my cowl. This was just the easiest thing to do for me on my aircraft. My p
oint is that each bolt should be loosened before it is re-torqued to avoid a
ny errors. How often to re-torque the prop depends on what climate you live i
n. Annually might be fine in the desert but monthly might be necessary in hu
mid areas prone to wide barometer changes. Your airplane, you must decide!!!

Subject: RV-List: retorquing bolts on catto prop.
I am doing the annual on my 6A. I re-torqued the prop bolts 22hrs ago (though that
was about 10 months). Check list calls for re-torquing them, but I don't see
that it's worth disturbing the thing. Catto recommends a much longer re-torquing
interval than the average wood prop anyway, due, I guess, to the fiberclass
outer layer of the prop.
Any opinions on this ?
