This from another list: (no, I didn't do it!)

I made a hard landing tonight (PPC) and my Ivo prop nicked my upper 

 strut. I have another strut but one blade on the prop has a slightly 

 damaged tip. It looks like it is delaminated slightly. I heard that 

 super glue and baking soda would fix it. If anyone knows how, please 

 post ASAP. I want to fly Saturday.



I suspect tip repairs aren't the same as a small nick. Any replies will be forwarded.



regards,

Bob N.

I strongly encourage you to contact Ivo for a consultation. I've found them  to be very helpful.

Hi Bob,



If it were mine and the damage is not too extensive I would cut both  

tips on a twenty degree angle as per Terry Frantz / Jack Hart . They  

both give reports of excellent results in performance AND NOISE  

REDUCTION.

An example of the tip profile can be seen at ,,,,,,

Super glue is useless for delaminations but is perfect for nicks in the

blade.  

With a file clean out all loose material and smooth any bulged edges. 

Put a couple teaspoons of baking soda in a shallow container so you can

easily pinch a hefty finger of it.

With the nick as level as you can get it, carefully wet the surface of the

nick with super glue and immediately sprinkle on enough baking soda to

completely dry it. Careful, it will dry instantly. On wood props in

particular make sure to wet every nook & cranny. A layer of masking tape on

each side under the nick will keep any overflows from sticking to the blade.

Continue wetting and sprinkling until the patch is slightly wider and taller

than the nick. Then file it down to match the prop.

Works on wood or composite.

George
