| Subject: | Hartzell prop Overhaul/Inspection |
Hi all, thought I would give everyone a heads up wrt when/if you have your
constant speed prop overhauled or inspected by a propeller facility. Due to
my earlier MT governor failure and engine/prop over speed, I took my prop to
Hope Aero near Toronto for a visual inspection. While it was there it was
also discovered that one of the prop blade seals was pinched as I was
getting a small amount of grease on my RV10 windshield. Hartzell covered
this under warranty.
However when Hope Aero re-assembled the front black coloured dome to the
hub, it was positioned in a slightly different position. Since the front
spinner plate is bolted directly to this black dome, my front spinner/plate
screw holes no longer aligned.
So I was faced with a few of options. Return the prop to Hope Aero (not a
good one as the prop was torqued and wire tied to the engine), buy a new
front plate, or rotate the front plate 90 degrees and re-drill and fasten
new #8 nut plates to the new holes. I ended up rotating 90 degrees.......
Bottom line, if you are in this same situation make sure the overhaul
facility know the black dome needs to go precisely back in the same
position. Kind of a poor design on Vans part IMHO. Wish I had known this
beforehand.

I had a similar experience this year but with a different prop shop.
Ended up putting a new front plate in as that was far easier and it
didn=99t add additional weight out there.

Rick,
You are 100% correct, I about tore my hair out trying to figure out why my
spinner wouldn't align after an overhaul. You described the issue
perfectly. I did the same as you and drilled a new set of holes in the
spinner.
After the fact, someone pointed out that I might have been able to slot the
four holes in the face of the plate, and rotate it slightly. You'd have to
be very precise with the slots, but it might be another option.
