<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I must twist the blade about 1-1/2" from the
root untill it reaches the 12" pitch?.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Or must I twist it progressively from the root
to the tip ?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=994295921-15112004><FONT color=#0000ff face=Arial
size=2>First you need a pitch gauge, and then a monokote hot air gun. For this
size prop, I actually use 2 heat guns, to warm the thick blade root. You will
probably have to apply heat for 30 ~ 60 seconds with two heat guns. Warm the
blade about 1-1/2" from the root, and twist the blade until it cools. You will
need something to prevent burning your hands, like a block of wood that has a
narrow hole in it. The blade can be restored to its original shape by warming,
if and when you need several tries to achieve the dewsired pitch. It will take
practice to keep from bending the blade along its length, while just twisting
it.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV>So what 3 bladed prop would you use on an OS160FX? </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Any reason to think a bolly carbon prop is better than an APC on
this engine?</DIV>
