Nice to hear Andy. My issue was a little worse, but they took care of it. Since this all started, I have asked a lot of questions, and it seems many CS props...
Yes the 200RV has been raised to 500 hrs. I've got 95 hrs on mine and it is doing great! Dan ... inspection get raised from 250hrs to 500hrs? Can anyone...
A while back I posted that I had a problem with the front seals on my 200RV prop. Additionally, I had been having surging problems from day one. After the seal...
I now have 200h on my 200RV (225hTTAF - I swapped out the 151 for the 200RV at 25h) and would like to report that I have been very happy with the propeller....
Had a problem with the spinner bulkhead bolts breaking the safety wire and backing out. After re-torquing them and re-safetying them, it happened again and the...
Yup...not the big castellated propeller bolts, but the the bolts that hold the spinner bulkhead to the hub. I know of several other instances where this had...
I saw an awesome WhirlWind three blade prop the other day. It was a WW three blade prop with huge blades. It was black and had silver or grey stripes. It was...
That was almost certainly the Whilwind 400C. Check it out at www.whirlwindaviation.com William Slaughter RV-8 planning to buy a 200RV ... had silver or grey...
Yes I have seen the plane in San Diego. The prop is the aerobatic prop that WW sells for 540 engines. Your right it looks fantastic on that rocket! I beleive I...
I've just uploaded a few pictures into the Photos section of a WW 400c three bladed hub loaded 200RV blades and a cosmichrome painted spinner. It works like a...
Well....I spoke too soon. Now at 240h (170h on my prop), I took the spinner off to inspect as part of the annual and in prep for the journey to OSH. Noticed a...
Group, After the latest bracket cracking on the previous post, I wanted to share some details that could possibly benefit everyone. First let me say that I've...
I have followed this thread for quite some time and it seems its an on going situation. Sometimes problems continue because everyone is looking over the head...
Thanks for your interest and thoughts on this ongoing issue. In my case, at least, the cracks originate and seem to be limited to the the holes through which...
I have the 151 and continue to have problems with surging as it tries to go to full power or tries to adjust when I pull back the Manifold Pressure and RPM...
Dennis, If I had never seen one of these propellers and it associated hardware and brackets before, and found that they were assembled so as to have the sharp...
The propeller is supposed to be statically balanced at the factory (with the spinner) and the user balances it in the field, following installation. Have you...
Sorry about my last post. Apparently I hit the send button before I was finished typing. I'll try again. I had started to talk about my experience in flying...
The first thing all of you should do is make a simple set of plates that will stabilize the seams in the backing plate. Take off your spinners and look at all...
Don- Appreciate the comment. There is no dust or any evidence of relative movement of the parts. (I know what you are talking about with the dust - that was...

Good info John, thanks for posting it! Regarding smoothness of your powertrain relative to your friend's Glastar, realize that an O-320 is inherently smoother...
Dan, I double-nutted (and washer) the studs and had no difficulty removing the nut. No heat was required. It appeared from the residue that red locktite had...
John, When I first got my prop and noticed the loose fit and potential for chafing at the front bulkhead, I put some very thin mylar tape up there to stabilize...
