Any tips for safety wireing the prop hub?
Is it possible to do a neat job?
What size wire. Jabiru 3300
Thanks

Mike, it is very possible. It is, however, a bit close quartered in there, but very do-able. I think I have a pic of my endeavor on my site.

Mike,
Patience is the first tip I can give you. The other is a tool that is not found in most tool boxes. I pulled a neat tool out of a trash bin that can help with all sorts of safety wire jobs. From a distance, it looks like a screwdriver. The tip end is like a small flat disc with two small holes in it. The two holes get safety wire inserted in them and you twist the handle. It is really handy for tight places. The 2007-2008 Aircraft Spruce shows one on page 603 for $13.60.
My prop hub safety wire job is not the prettiest, but it is passable. I mainly wired mine because the Jabiru installation manual said it could not be done with the deeper prop hub. That kind of a challenge is all I needed. Plus, I was not comfortable with just locktite on the bolts.
Good luck,
DaveG

I've seen Jim from Jabiru Pacific safety the deeper extensions. One trick he
recommended was to twist the wires backwards to make them lay better.
Quality Sport Planes just held their Jabiru FWF class with Jim. Did anyone
attend?
