I got the SL, and then read manuals 159 and 193 for reference to my Mattituck O-360A1A (mag and LightSpeed) and attached Hartzell HC-C2YR-1BFP with F7496-2 blades. I'm basically outside their compliance parameters because I had 9:1 pistons installed, and did not have an overhaul performed but rather an IRAN. Sensenich deemed the prop in excellent condition, partly because the plane has been hangared all of its 1595 hours; the IRAN of my PCU5000X also resulted in a "outstanding shape" report. The SL provides good-to-know stuff at this point, maybe fair warning to be on the lookout for any issues. The statement in vol 2 of manual 193 "a small crack initiation can propagate into a full failure very quickly; in some cases within a single flight" is flat out alarming! There are no guarantees of safety in aviation.
Thanks Vic, really appreciate your maintenance manual which contains critical information about maintenance and repairs on RV’s. I’m very satisfied with my purchase. Happy Landings 😊
Can this be issued as a certified helicopter and will vertical build it for me they have never responded to me I'm thinking about buying the 3 place scout aero now
We just had our Hartzell prop overhauled by Aircraft Propeller Service in Lake Zurich, Illinois. They did a great job but it was pricey. $4,600
