Chris,
First, congratulations on joining the Yak world! This is a great
community with a ton of really cool people. I'm quite certain that no one
here doubts your experience or your stick and rudder skills.

-Mr Cox, it seems rather clear that you fully well intend to ignore the a
dvice of some of the best experts on this list server.

First, Mark is one of the most well intentioned guys on this
list...sometimes his intent gets lost in the cold hard world of
cyberspace.
Please take a deep breath and try to read what I'm about to say with an
open mind. The reason so many guys are responding in the way that they
are is because we have seen planes lost and people die because they chose
to neglect serious issues and fly planes that should not have been flown
in the first place. I can think of 3 engine failures in the last 4 years
that were a result of flying after a prop strike...and as Richard said,
nose case failures are of most concern. I will give you the names of
these guys to call and have a chat with so they can tell you their
experiences, first hand, about how incredibly lucky they are to not be
dead. Call Jill at M-14P and ask about the prop strike inspections
they've done. Call Bill Blackwell who tore apart an engine that failed
after a prop strike. Then there are others that you cannot call because
they are dead.
Chris, what we really care about is you...not insurance. Some of us are
just a bit too proud pilot types that won't admit it, but no one wants to
see you get hurt. Please, please, please take a step back and listen to
the advice of guys who have been around these airplanes for a long, long
time. I'm sure with 3000TT you have learned a lot from those around you,
let this be one of those times.
Feel free to call me any time for the names and numbers of those I mention
above.
Regards,
Barry
