PA-30 Prop needed for #1 engine

[James Gardner]

Sad story, but the result is that I need a replacement - both blades and the hub. League City, TX

James,

Sorry to hear there has been some difficulty. Bill has one prop at phone # 540 eight one eight 0540.

He said," The pair sells for 19k, but if you want one, they want an astronomical price, something like 12k+. I figure if someone toasts one, hits something or whatever, I should easily be able to get 8-9. It is just a matter of waiting. The problem with these props (all of them) is that the lip on the hub is very thin and easily damaged by a strike, even one that leaves the blades repairable. The knots 2 u props are a good deal in a set, but parts, or a single prop is incredibly expensive."

I'm assuming you know that if there was a sudden prop stoppage, the engine is required to be inspected.

Hope you are OK and that this helps a bit.

Here is more contact info at same area code That is my cell, and someone just called me on it looking for instruction and pre buy help. 818-3540.

The number in the flyer is only good M-F, my office. My cell doesn't work at night, because there is no cell service, goes straight to VM.

Another number at home is 921-1639, weekends and nights, same area code.

All that said, I have the q-tips, and one left D-twist, but I am not sure what I have on standard props, some blades I think. I mostly keep the q-tips in case someone needs ferry props.
