Well, I'm sitting here on vacation at the outer banks (surf fish on Ocracoke Is. every Sept. for the past 45 yrs. -- was here on 9/11/01 also) ... and I'm building the -10 in my mind. Go figgur!
The Hartzell prop came in right before I left and we temporarily mounted it in order to fit the cowl and spinner. As I recall, the instructions say to make sure the cut outs in the spinner for the blades have enough clearance through the pitch cycle ...?????
It may be obvious (since I searched the archives and found no one else seems to have this problem), but how do you rotate the blades through their pitch manually?
Later, - Lew
(keeping an eye out for hurricanes and eating lots of fresh Bluefish -- there IS a landing strip out here, send me an email and I'll meet you there!)

I clamped padded boards to the blades and then used the boards as a lever.
I think the boards were only two feet or so. Gives you enough of a lever to
move them. Sorry no pictures.

Why would you need to rotate the blades? Seems you could just measure
widest spot on the blades at the root and ensure your opening is
circular with a diameter of that widest spot plus 2 times the clearance
value you want. Or am I missing something?

You can twist it by hand, but using a couple of 2x4's with a 1x?
spacer (as Rene mentioned) with a rag or foam padding makes it a
little easier if you are doing it by yourself.
