It seemed like a rather momentous occasion today since the Hartzell CS prop got mounted to the front of the 'ol RV-8 project!! Yahoo! I really like the looks of the non-blended airfoil blades. They just have a more traditional, mean and manly look, IMHO. The 72" dia also has those fatter paddles which looks cool too. Just two weeks from initial engine mounting to prop installation. The FWF controls and wiring are done too. All of the CHT/EGT/PSI probes even worked the first time! Anyway, just thought I'd share. Cowling goes on next, then the baffling... Wish me luck. ;-) Matt Dralle RV-8 #82880 N998RV http://www.mykitlog.com/dralle Cowling and Baffling... ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 06:27:34 PM PST US From: rveighta@comcast.net Subject: Re: RV8-List: Hartzell Prop Goes On Today! Matt, what a beautiful lookin' 8!=C2- Makes me wish I hadn't sold my 8 la st fall. I had the same prop on mine. If you think it looks good, just wait until you taxi out the first time!=C2- I still r emember taking mine out the first time on a warm, summer evening, with the canopy slightly ajar and those big paddle blades playing a symphony for me. Heavenly....

Cone" Subject: Re: RV8-List: Hartzell Prop Goes On Today! One thing to consider. With the prop on, you are likely to rotate the engine, even very small displacements defeats some of the preservation. Not a huge deal, depending upon conditions, but I held off as long as possible before mounting mine. do not archive ----- Original Message ----- From: "Matt Dralle" ; Sent: Saturday, August 29, 2009 5:29 PM Subject: RV8-List: Hartzell Prop Goes On Today! > Listers! > > It seemed like a rather momentous occasion today since the Hartzell CS > prop got mounted to the front of the 'ol RV-8 project!!
