Next message: (no name): "lv-ab: MaxProp Problem"
I don't have much detail on how the damage occurred. You're probably
correct that it happened while shifting from forward to reverse as I tried
to figure out what the problem was. I also tried to motor for a while which
resulted in lots of vibration and loosened the packing in the strut (another
reason for a quick haul). I suspect most of the damage occurred when I
tried to motor with one or more of the blades out of position. The Yard has
been in contact with PYI (the manufacturer) and, after e-mailing some
digital pictures of the parts, they feel that they can repair (rather than
replace) the prop at a significant savings in cost. Let's hope so.
