Reflectorites:   I need the wisdom of some who may have  experience in 
damaged MT Props. In a rather nose up landing I apparently struck  the prop on the 
runway because I noticed about 1/2 inch missing  from the  ends of each blade 
after the flight. It is cracked and shredded about another  inch into the 
blades. Question:  Is it possible to cut off the ends equally  on each blade about 
another inch to get to solid wood and epoxy over the  ends?  Is this prudent?  
or is the prop trash?  I am  scheduled to run in the airventure cup race on 
Sunday but if I cant modify  the prop safely  than I'll have to scratch.  
   Thanks Tim Rhodenbaugh
