Sure am looking forward to seeing your valve installation pictures. This winter
I can't get my temps up above 170 and most of the time 160. I also have the
2006X.
Looks like I am going to have to install the valve also.

| Subject: | Light(er)-weight Prop Lock |
In anticipation of an upcoming trip, I wanted a propeller lock.
I spent a lot of time thinking about it, and finally found a
solution that wasn't ultra expensive or ultra heavy.

| Subject: | Balance weights on Hartzell CS prop hub |
A close examination of my (unused, unmounted) Hartzell prop hub, I see 2
screws safety wired together on the hubs, near where the prop shafts are
mounted. What's strange is that there are 8 threaded screw holes, 2
pair at each prop shaft. But only 2 of the 8 are in place and safety wired.
In the Owner's manual, they are called 'balance weights'. In one
drawing it looks like a plate of some sort might be mounted under the
screws. One other diagram 'suggests' safety wire. Otherwise, I can
find no reference to them.
Anyone know anything about this?
I know this isn't enough information to easily picture this but I'm
thinking someone is familiar enough to know what I'm talking about.
It's weird to see 8 holes and only 2 screws.

The screws hold balance weights, which are plates that mount under pairs
of screws. The two screws you see are part of the 'weight' ..... but no
plates were needed. meaning that the initial assembly and static balance
were almost spot on.
I once balanced a prop on a homebuilt that the owner had taken apart
after a gear-up landing ...... his third. He 'straightened' the bent
blades with a 5 Lb maul (already spent too much on new blades!),
reassembled, and when he did he put all the weights on one blade ......
on one side! The prop stayed together longer than the owner. I was amazed.

That's how I interpreted it, but in the beginning, didn't have a clue.
Thanks, that's what I wanted to hear.

You're in luck, sort of....
I did a write up today but didn't get a great picture if the valve-only when it
was mounted. It's pretty simple though.

Hope that helps. A few weeks and I'll get a good long flight test.
