PROTECTING YOUR ULTRALIGHT AIRCRAFT PROPELLER
Aircraft Propellers protecting your prop! Section Index 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
Propeller protection for powered parachutes, para-gliders, trikes and ultralights. On the Rotax air cooled engines put a dab of silicone on the screws holding the two top cooling shrouds  together. This stops the screws from backing out due to vibration, or if the spring retaining washer breaks. If either happens the cowl screw and the washer will travel back into the propeller. If you own an ultralight  you have probably had a few things introduce themselves to your prop over the years. Or if you are flying on a wood prop have noticed some  hair line cracks forming at the tips. As long as none of these are severe in nature - they can be repaired easily with some house hold ingredients, Crazy Glue and Baking Soda! Click here for more information.
