I'll admit that I'm always learning something new about these aircraft....no matter how long I'm around them. Since purchasing a brand new Vperiod B-530 TA six years ago I have learned lots of *stuff* about it, which parts interchange with the CJ prop, what is under the paint on the blades, etc. I have always known that the Russian paddle blades came in different blade diameters but I had assumed that everything in the hub was the same between different versions.

And,�I always wondered why I was unable to reduce RPM down to the Cruise II setting. Turns out that there are different�sizes of that little metal ring that is attached to the end of the prop dome piston with those flat cotter pins. "Duh", my brain said when I measured the amount of coarse pitch travel that this removeable ring limits. Just 1/8" difference in ring thickness makes a big difference.
�
Now, I'm going to get some real economy :>)
