REFLECTOR:Keeping the ! out of Expensive Propellers

[Greg Poole]

G'Day All,

.....Still waiting in the wings down here looking for clear evidence of
success of established means for keeping rocks etc out of pusher propellers.
Despite all precautions, have all but trashed two MT propellers for 40 hours
use in the XL we built down here.  As previously indicated, when you
amortise the cost of a prop. this makes landings very expensive!  (most
strips down here are tarred aggregate rather than concrete).

The owner of the XL  - Leon Howe, has asked me to again ask for what any of
you blokes have done to get around this - diagrams, pictures, descriptions -
all accepted without complaint!

Kind regards,

Greg in Sydney.
