Stamp "UNAIRWORTHY" in deep letters in the sides of the hub and sell it on eBay for $300. That is about how much a "decorative" wood prop goes for. The proceeds will make a nice down-payment on a new wood prop. Good luck, Linc DO NOT ARCHIVE ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 03:08:23 PM PST US From: "Tom and Faye" Subject: RV4-List: Crack in prop hub bore --> RV4-List message posted by: "Tom and Faye" I have a prop with a stress crack from one of the bolt holes to the bore in the outside laminate. I boxed it up and put in the attic. If I ever damage a prop away from home my wife can mail it to me.

General consensus is that I use it for wall decoration. :( It was a new Pacesetter that just cracked over time from moisture coming and going from the only unfinished and unsealed area. It's about 15 years old and has never been in the air. Next question: With a 160 HP, O-320, what is the favored wood prop? I'm not leaning towards cruise or climb, just a standard prop.
