Chunk out of Rear Prop
Came home through snow, ice, clouds, last night. Looking over the plane after landing and noticed a big chunk of prop missing with torn metal bent funny - when I say big I mean about 3/4" in diameter. This is the rear prop. It did have a previously-filed nick in that spot, but it's definitely a problem now.
Anyone else every have that happen? I'll have to have the mechanics look at it tomorrow and tell me what the options are. Can props be fixed? Or they a "replace" item when they get damaged like that? I assume used ones are on the market?
Promises to be fun....
