KR> RE: Wood Prop Question
Hi, Isn't this list great. As I mentioned a couple of days ago, I thought the main concern with rain was the chance of it turning into hail. I had no idea the wet form could be quite so dangerous. Thanks for the enlightenment. Pete

By "OBLITERATING" do you mean that you wouldn't want to fly with it again, or that you were lucky to be able to land with the thing in the first place (or something in between)???

KR> RE: Wood Prop Question
A good friend of mine had a wood prop on his Spezio and flew through a shower with it without any leading edge protection. He probably only had 80% of his prop left. He switched to a metal prop and the wood prop made a nice wall hanging after he decoratively refinished it Marc Lee Winnig wrote: By "OBLITERATING" do you mean that you wouldn't want to fly with it again, or that you were lucky to be able to land with the thing in the first place (or something in between)???

KR> RE: Wood Prop Question
Mark, Think of it as if you're driving in rain. you have to slow down. do not fly with a prop that does not have a L.E protection and always slow down (prop RPM) by a good 15% from normal cruise.

KR> RE: Wood Prop Question
Have you ever seen or can you imagine a wood deck on your patio that has been harshly pressure washed by someone who doesn't know what there doing or how to do it? That's what happens to the unprotected prop. The rain starts to tear away the little fibres on the leading edge and that degrades the prop airflow as it wears away. - Original Message - From: "Marc Lee Winnig" To: "KRnet" Sent: Friday, December 08, 2006 1:27 PM Subject: KR> RE: Wood Prop Question By "OBLITERATING" do you mean that you wouldn't want to fly with it again, or that you were lucky to be able to land with the thing in the first place (or something in between)???

Thanks. I get that part. But I have heard it presented as "bullets traveling at Mach 1" hitting the tips of the prop. That sounded a bit different to me!
