REFLECTOR: Prop Bolts

[Ron Brown]

If you're NOT a http://groups.yahoo.com/group/canard-aviators/ member AND you fly a wooden or composite prop, you should tune in!

Marc Zeitland built and flies a Cozy 4. He and and his wife lost their Catto prop last week over the desert in southern California.

Marc has excellent write ups and pictures of the event at http://www.cozybuilders.org/Desert_Center/index.html

Discussions of the possible cause of failure (loose prop bolts?) and suggestions for preventing and reacting to the failure on the Yahoo group had been very educational!
