| Subject: | Sensenich G/A composite prop AD |
Anyone know any more about this?
My prop is brand new still in the box and they want me to now look for cracks as
soon as I use it.. Should I just return it and see if I can get my money back?
Sensenich issued a service bulletin on their props for Jabiru last month, did you
see that?

Folks,
This weekend I got enough solid rivets in the center section that I can
call it "done". However I have two lingering questions.
1. Did people that have completed it put washers under the heads as well
as the nuts of the AN4 bolts? Or just the nuts? I have almost a full
thread showing with a washer under the head and nut.
2. How tight is the fit of the upgraded wing spar in the upgraded center
section. I tried to do a test fit and the top seems awful tight, like
needed-to-pry-the-halves-apart-a-bit so the top part of the spar would
fit.
I'm > < close to calling zenith and just ordering an upgraded center
section.

Lee, you may want to talk it over with Zenith before ordering. As I
recall, they pre-fit each set of spars and carry-through, and mixed
parts may not necessarily fit together.

Hi Lee,
I think the primary purpose of washers with bolts is to adjust the length of bolt
required. I believe you should always have at least 2 threads showing after
tightening the nut.
I don't think there is any reason to use washers with solid rivets. Indeed I have
never heard of anyone doing that. Sometimes there is a need to add a layer
of metal to make up for an irregular hole, but that is usually larger than a
washer.

They matched the parts for a while (the wing and center spars in my QBK all
have matching serial number plates). But I recall being told at a later time
that this was no longer necessary. But I bet it depends on the vintage of
your spars.

Sounds like you're doing everything right, Lee.
I have one washer under the nut on the AN4s, nothing more.
And yes, it IS a tight fit, and you may have to spread the spar a bit to get the
wing stub end to nest.
