Looked like a UPS worker used a Hook on the box....

Factory is great on backing up their prop not their fault. Shippers are UPS & Fedex. Its all insured I guess all I want is a undamaged prop. If the third comes damaged I contemplating a constant speed. From Hartzell. See if they can get one to me undamaged. I was just wondering if I was the only one this has happened to. Where do all the bad props go to , reworked and resold? ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 08:45:20 AM PST US From: Gkb5577@aol.com Subject: RV6-List: Prop bolt 'wallow' --> RV6-List message posted by: Gkb5577@aol.com I came across a buy on a Avid and actually bought it. It was factory made completed in '86, but on a 100% complete inspection I discovered that when the prop bolts were loosened for removal (and replacement just in case the very miniscule surface 'corrosion' on them might weaken them or set them up for fracture) there was some wallow or slackness between the bolts themselves and the bolt holes. Can anyone tell me the tolerances that are acceptable for bolt surface scratches? Any standards for prop bolt surface 'defects'? ie. what kinds of things should we be checking for actually. And finally, can this be fixed in the wooden props, for example with flox and then redrilled to 'Blueprint' dimensions and bolt circle? Or is the prop bolt hole,for example, the only 'port' for equilibration of the props' internal moisture content? (???) Lots of considerations. We are always told to check the prop, check the bolts, check for corrosion/wear, etc, etc. but what exactly do we use for standards, and what standards apply to which and wear?

I think the UPS should do a lot better than they have - I hate to have them deliver anything but some companies will not ship other than UPS!!!
