Sonny,
I remember one of the Listees recently posting and interesting experience.
I don't remember who, but perhaps he'll pipe up. As I remember, he had the
"local shop" recondition his prop and then, before re-installing it had the
occasion to be at one of the shops using the new technology. Out of
curiosity, the high-tech shop owner scanned the "just refurbished" prop and
found one of the blades to be signigicantly out compared to the other
blades. The Listee stated that he didn't have the prop redone, but next
time was going to take it to the high-tech shop. Ya pays yer money and
takes yer chances, I guess.
