Posted: Thu May 20, 2010 1:34 pm Post subject: What propeller was involved in accident?

The NTSB web site reports that a RV-8 that was fitted with a "3-bladed

wooden propeller" lost one propeller blade in flight at or near

Prague, OK on May 06, 2010.  The private pilot, the sole occupant,

received minor injuries and the aircraft sustained substantial damage

during a forced landing.



Fortunately the pilot only received "minor injuries" according to the report.



The question that I have is does anyone know what propeller make and

model this aircraft was equipped with?



Thanks in advance,

Dale

He didn't say "all wood".  He said "wooden".  I'm not aware of any all 

wood three bladed props.



Hoffman,  MT and Catto make three-bladed props that have have wood core 

blades covered with fibreglass.

Having a Catto 3-blade on my plane, I checked the stories and pictures I could find on the net to see the prop.Â  It doesn't look like a Catto.Â  Mine, is all black on the aft side. The one on N127TT was white near the root, and, from the video, it looks like it wasn't painted on the forward side, or at least it wasn't painted white.Â  They commented that the prop was recently installed.

 	  Quote: 	
		  It's _currently_ equipped with a two-bladed wooden prop with the blades 120 degrees apart instead of the standard 180.  Shouldn't be too hard to track down the manufacturer of such an unusual design.

 	




I keed, I keed 

Glad the pilot is okay.

For those of you flying 3-blade wooden designs, I feel your vague anxiety.

JIM:I KNOW YOUR PROP IS THREE-BLADED BUT THAT'S ABOUT ALL I REMEMBER ABOUT IT.  YOU'RE PROBABLY ALREADY AWARE OF THIS SITUATION BUT JUST IN CASE AND FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH - I'VE FORWARDED INFO ON THE FAILURE OF A "WOODEN" THREE BLADED PROP.  I THINK IT WAS PROBABLY A PROP WITH A WOODEN CORE COVERED WITH SOMETHING ELSE.
