Oscar, what you have said is close to what I did. Seems most of the problem isn't delamination of the cloth on cloth but the oil in the timber causing separation of the timber from the first layer of cloth. If the delam is close to the hub the easier it is to fix. But if close to the tip, it's off to the manufacturer to fix. I have done 2 props, one at 150mm and the other at less than 300mm from centre, certainly in the first third where prop speeds are lower. Ken

Bruce, I will be at my hangar tomorrow and have all the gear to fix it. I did mine 200 hours ago and all is still good with the repair. Ken

Been off line all morning

Hi all, been a member for about 8 years but has been about as long since my last post so best start again! I built my SP 500 2.2 about 9 years ago with the 15 th to last solid lifter motor that hasn't given me any complaints so far, fingers crossed. I retired about the same time my Jab lost $15k in value due to the CASA intervention. I was in the public service, so know how these things work.... I am not holding my breath... So to be proactive in this issue I will be attending the factory to participate in the 3 day engine maintenance course in July and see which way I will be going with any motor replacement. Our club has a number of Jabs that seem to be flying quite well so far. Ken 19-4690
