Serviceable hub, spinner and governor is really all I need, but seems like I can get a whole prop for the same or less money after a little bit of searching, but not in a rush. I have a good wait for the prop blades to be made. I have called a few of them and put them on a list to be looking for one.

So, this is my first constant speed prop and I haven’t really priced the replacement blades. I’m trying to decide if I get one with damaged blades the old blades if one or more are in good shape what kind of valve do the blades have. From what I have read the McCauley hubs don’t get damaged from prop strikes it seems. I’m sure that there are extreme cases that they do end up getting damaged. Just weighing my options if I get one without damage and good blades and then sell off the blades? Or get the damaged for less money and possibly get less for the blades. I don’t need the blades as I will be putting custom composite blades for the Velocity it is going on. i appreciate the knowledge and help! David Moyer

Thank you. No I didn’t have the guide. Checking out Texas Air Salvage.

That is crazy. Never had she thought hey since I know this guy is going around we will give way and leave some spacing so we can at least see them. My instructors would always get on to me, “don’t roll on to the runway unless you’re ready to take off! For God’s sake don’t pull out and sit there you get us all killed!” I only had to be told once, but it was drilled into my head until I soloed and they felt I got the point. That and being vigilant with traffic calls and scanning for traffic. The side step probably saved your life as she seemed like an oblivious idiot. Probably a low time instructor. I had one giving me complex training in a retractable arrow and went to land at an uncontrolled field and went to put the gear down and only one green light not three. She panicked and didn’t know what to do. I pulled the POH/check list and said here you go emergency procedures are in here. I also said after she got on her cell phone that we should probably divert back to the airport we took off from and do a low pass by the tower. Fortunately, unlike Maverick, the pattern wasn’t full. We made several passes and verified the gear was down. Landed uneventful and turn out is was just a bad limit switch on the gear. Let’s just say I never flew with her again. I should have known she was making comments about not liking retractable gears. Good lord and she was supposed to be headed to fly for a major airline. No common sense. Not to say I didn’t mess up early on and at a controlled airport landed on 17R instead of 17L. Fortunately there wasn’t too many people flying that day and they weren’t landing two at once on the parallel runways. I repeated back what I heard and they didn’t correct me so we both made mistakes. Good lesson to be very vigilant to listen write down what you can and repeat and get positive assurance. I think that training plane’s radio and the loaner headset I used at the time was terrible and made it hard to hear.

This is my first new thread and glad to be part of this amazing forum. Everyone seems to be great here. I want to say thank you for having me and thank you in advance for any help I can get in locating a prop. I am looking for a 3 blade McCauley prop for an IO360-A3B6D as well as a governor which I believe is the B3D5. I am going to change out the blades to composite Catto blades. Any help would greatly be appreciated. David Moyer
