All the talk about the warp prop has me wanting to have a look at mine 

mounted. I'm missing a bit of documentation and I'm wondering what bolts are 

used on these. I think they are 8mm but am unsure of the length, head etc.



Recommendations?

Dave,



I think off the top of my head they are AN4   1/4 " for the 12 that hold the 

blades in place with Nuts  and Washer under nut and head of bolt

and the 6 that bolt to hub are  AN  8mm  that thread into hub  and i use a 

8mm an locknut on backside  and washer only under head of 8mm bolt

No safety wire at all.



Dave

Dave,  When I mounted my prop, it seemed that the mounting bolts were a bit 

sloppy in the mounting holes - prop and hub.  they were 5/16 bolts.  I 

delayed long enough to order the 8mm bolts and found them to be a looser fit 

than the 5/16 ones supplied by Skystar at the time, so went with the 5/16. 

The Warp Drive manual calls for either.

I'm getting the idea I must be old fashioned....  I like to see a nice clean

lock wire job!  

Ivo requires lock wire not be used on their props.



Boo hiss!  But I do as I'm told.

Safety wire not an issue on prop bolts with selflocking nuts on back side 

like Warp , GSC and Ivos that I have used and set up .

Lowell,   Thanks -- I have a set of drive lugs to put in my 582 this week 

when I try the GSC prop.  I always thought there were 8mm  but maybe a 5/16s 

does work.....

Will try and report back.

Dave

I've seen self locking nuts, fibre and metal work loose.  Admittedly they

were obviously re used nuts and probably should have been condemned.



Nothing looks as nice as a well done lock wire.



Little holds a well as a cotter pin.  Doesn't look as nice though.
