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.

Ended up putting a new front plate in as that was far easier and it didn=99t add additional weight out there. grumpy > On Sep 23, 2016, at 3:57 PM, Sandra & Rick wrote: > > 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.

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. --Dave On Fri, Sep 23, 2016 at 1:57 PM, Sandra & Rick wrote: > 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.
