Looking for help. I have one, or two, MT props on a XL RG (had been flown
off grass) that has a nick and a leading edge crack that I'm not comfortable
with. Anyone have any thoughts regarding:
1. Can a person buy one (or two) new prop blades to install while waiting
for the inspected props to be returned (they would become permanent spares)?
2. Can a person install one, or two, new blades without throwing
everything out of balance?
3. Is there a good shop or source to deal with for ordering a prop blade
as well as sending the blade(s) in for inspection?
4. Can MT blades be successfully refurbed?
4. Are there do's and don'ts for this kind of swapping of MT props?
Since wandering around blind (and stupid) is painful....and expensive,
anyone that has some thoughts or suggestions, they would be appreciated.
Chuck
