<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"> </DIV>
<DIV>There are several carbon fiber options for 3 blade props that we should
consider at: <A
href="http://www.desertaircraft.com">http://www.desertaircraft.com</A></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Here are the options:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>16x12 Air Models $74</DIV>
<DIV>16x13 Bolly $52</DIV>
<DIV>16.5x12 Bolly $52</DIV>
<DIV>16x11 Mejzlik $54</DIV>
<DIV>16.5 x14 Mejzlik $58</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The question is: Have someone tried this props for pattern?
It would be interesting to find out which one of this props is equivalent to
the one we are using now. I will call DA tomorrow to find out if they
know something in regard applications in the engine we use.</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Today, while running an OS 1.60 with Master
Airscrew three-blade 16 x 10 on the ground, ONE blade departed cleanly at
the hub at near full power. The blade travelled approx. 45 yards,
directly in line with the prop disc-plane of the engine. There were no
injuries.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This particular MA nylon prop had approximately
75 flights with the OS 1.60 on Aeroslave pipe setup. Ground peak rpm
was in the 85-8600 rpm range.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Based on other reports of three blade failures
on the OS 1.60, I won't encourage their use any longer. Two brands,
several different owners, different setups. Common elements - OS 1.60
on pipe and three blade setup.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This is just an FYI to those
interested.</FONT></DIV>
