BlankWhat's the deal about painting prop tips?  I thought it was 

required.  It is on the EAA check list.  I asked IVOPROP about it and 

they said not to do it, it would affect the balance.  I can't find a FAR 

about it.  When I had my gyro inspected, the DAR told me to paint them.



"Are the propeller tips painted for visibility?"  That's off the EAA 

check list.



Do we or don't we?  Anyone know for sure?

I've been on hand for two Excalibur initial airworthiness inspections... 

neither had the prop tips painted... both were certified without any hassle 

about painting the tips..... both of us yell "Clear Prop!" before start 

up... neither of us have hit anything or anyone with the prop. Well actually 

my prop hit a home run with the tennis ball as it blew off the exhaust at 

start up...... twice so far. Found it both times after a bit of a search. No 

charges were pressed. Four runs batted in.

I really think it's a recommendation not a requirement.  Like I said I can't 

find a FAR on it.  It is a good recommendation, but it definitely changes 

your balance unless you can get the exact amount paint on each blade.  I had 

to have mine re-balanced.  But, you sure can see them while spinning.

I can say on my Ivo props they have a leading edge protection made from 

stainless. That surface shows up REAL well while the prop is spinning. F

WIW, the DAR that blessed my plane didn't mention I needed to paint my t

ips.

I painted the tips on my Warp drive without any trouble. Just make  

sure you don't over do it (make it thick). All you need is a very  

light coat.

Hmmm. How about your ears. Can't you hear, when engine near

by you is running? And if not! How you can talk with tower?

Jari, at least during floatplane operations paint on the propeller tips 

have probably saved lives, so even if one never should run the engine 

with people around, my propeller tips are certain to become painted...
