REFLECTOR:Things going through the prop

[KeithHallsten]

Andy,

I think a better approach to the problem is making a serious effort BY
DESIGN to eliminate things falling off in the first place!  This is where
safety wire, cotter keys, good preflight inspections, and proper design of
brackets, etc. comes in.  Those parts need to stay where they can do their
job - if you don't need them, just leave them off!

Keith
