So the total calendar life becomes seven years. However, once it is used, the calendar life continues to accumulate so, officially, you can't keep removing a propeller and then putting it back on again and only counting the time that it is mounted on the aircraft. In the end, it must depend what your local authorities rule, but having had a major propeller failure on a VP prop myself, I would not wish this on anyone!

What is the requirement from Manufacturers perspective, but also recommended for this prop V530TA-D35 on a YAK-52: 1. doing Aero's 2. normal flying I believe that the manufacturer recommended from the old Russian logbook 400 hours or 6 years, our local Russian AMO says 500 hours or 5 years. Our local Prop Centre says at least 3 years if you do Aero's due to torgue/forces on the prop. Our current prop is at +-220 hours Since overhauled, but last overhaul 2004. Total hours +-860 and manufactured 1988 However it was removed at 131 hours and 1 year from aircraft in 2005. It had 2 MPI inspections between 2005 and 2013 Was fitted to aircraft again in 2013 at 161 hours. So it "flew" approx 30 hours on another aircraft. It is currently in the Prop Centre as there was some wear and tear on the Furrells which need repair. (caused slight play on blades) This is in South Africa flying Non Type Certified or similar to Experimental in other countries. However, from safety aspect, what is the recommendation regarding overhaul timelines?

The impacts I have seen from the aerobatics that you have described (such as Lomcevaks) impact themselves mostly with the engine. The most immediate and obvious being with leaking shaft seals on the reduction drive assembly (which require a special tool to replace) and also worn "Rubbers" on the engine mounts. The seal leaking is pretty obvious as oil will be pretty much all over everywhere. The engine rubbers not so much.. you have look carefully. Vibration issues can be caused by so many many things, I think it would take a book to cover them all. :-) Not the exact answer to your question, but on the same topic... sorta.

Aerobatics could mean a large range of things ... I'm doing a fair amount of flat spins, snaps and Lomcevaks at high power settings. This must stress the hub a lot more than a simple loop. I am also having some vibration issues. The hubs got 360 hrs on it. 90% of those hours are moderate to serious aerobatics. What the overhaul time in that scenario ?

I would guess calendar life covers things such as corrosion, seal life, lubricant life. I can't see how a blanket 500 hrs operation limit covers the huge variety of stress props can be put under. One would think both the 5 years and 500 hrs are based on hardest use scenario. humid salt air environment ; Yak55, Su26--31 type of use. You didn't mention what failed on you VP incident. Did you have to abandon the aircraft? ..... Time to have my chut repacked.... [Shocked] But seriously, what fails on these hubs, is there on underlying weakness?
