Hi guys,
While on the subject of bolts, I notice
the 1/4" Warp Drive Prop bolts, as yet only half-torqued,
do not protrude beyond being flush with the nut with a standard
washer each end. Does standard practice still require 1-3 threads
showing when properly torqued, or is it all right to have half a
thread beyond the nut?

Gettin fussy here, and closer to airworthiness inspection.

Hi Larry,
I found the same problem, but it was even worse on the larger hub bolts. I
ended up purchasing all new (longer) bolts. I just wasn't comfortable seeing
what you described on my prop.
