EJOJprop

New prop design as well on the Prostar.

The lines are a function of the tool path. I have recently made some changes to the tool paths to test what, if any performace is gained or lost. May see a different look soon.

Just to clarify, the older style props were not forged, they were cast in the same manner the CNC machined props are cast today. We still offer hand finished propellers as well as our CNC machined propellers, both start off life cast in the same manner. The hand finished parts are cast from CNC machined master patterns and are cast as near "net parts". Meaning the casting is much thinner and closer to a finished part. The part is then cleaned up by hand on a buffing machine. The CNC castings start out much thicker in order to have material to machine. The last process for each is balancing, that is why even the machined props show signs of buffing on the back of the blades. As for the orignal prop shown for repair, the issue is not how much of the blade is missing it is how bad are the blades bent. Adding material to the blade is the easy part, insuring the blade is not bent into the hub is the issue. There is also no way to put the tool path, the lines in the prop, back into a repair, even if you send it back to whomever built it. Better pick up with a 11.5" pitch prop over a 13" prop would be expected.

A new propeller or having the current propeller looked at will be the least expensive option, Jody can take care of that as well.

Jody - Looks Like we hit it pretty close on the first try. Good to see another of our props working well with your CC.
