Hi econ,The prop flies even better than it looks...!
No, it is not necessary or required to remove once a year and this is nowhere in the operations manual that came with prop. If you fly continuiously heavy acrobatics they recommend inspection every 250 hours. I fly moderate acro and don't expect inspection before 500 hours.
I suggest you call whirlwind directly and speak with Jeremy ans say hello from me 
Feel free to call me if you need more info. Ill be glad to help.

Hi Sam.
The prop looks fantastic. Is it true that it has to be removed and inspected once a year? I am weighing up between the Whirlwind and the MT, and the requirement to pull the prop and send it to a Prop Shop every year irrespective of hours flown seems a little onerous. What do you think?
Cheers Egon.

Sam, I am curious.
When I go to their web page:
http://www.whirlwindaviation.com/props/400cmseries.asp
Under "Specifications" I see this:
"Tear Down Inspection: 250 hours or 1 years"
In the owner's manual I find this statement:
"7.1 Teardown Inspection Schedule
Refer to the original propeller data sheet for recommended
teardown inspection schedule. If the original data sheet
cannot be found, please contact Whirl Wind Aviation directly
to confirm the recommended schedule for your propeller."
So, it appears rather vague to me just what the tear-down schedule is when approached by a new potential buyer such as myself.
Do you have a copy of the "original propeller data sheet" that actually gives the recommended teardown inspection schedule? Recommendations by owners are of course welcomed at all times, but all props have some kind of official life history inspection schedule. Of course, anyone can contact Whirlwind directly for a verbal answer, but I sure would like to see something in writing.
Best Regards,
Mark
