Product catalog summary
Specifications:
The document provides detailed specifications for various flanges and splines used in engines. Key parameters include diameter, thickness, and bolt size. Examples mentioned are Integral Flange SAE #2, SAE 20 Spline, and taper models from manufacturers such as Aeronca, Continental, Lycoming, and Franklin.
Supplemental Type Certificate Notes:
This section includes notes on aircraft restoration supplies and services specifically for Piper PA-12/PA-18 and Cubcrafters. It also provides contact information for suppliers located in Belle Plaine, MN, and Yakima, WA.
Recommendations for Wood Propeller Maintenance:
The document stresses the importance of maintaining proper bolt torque for wood propellers. It explains that friction is crucial for propeller function and that insufficient bolt torque can cause heat, leading to dimensional changes in the wood. Regular torque checks every 50 hours or with seasonal changes are recommended to prevent issues such as broken bolts, cracked hubs, and wood rot.
Key Maintenance Tips:
  • Use a torque wrench to ensure proper bolt torque.
  • Regularly check bolt torque to avoid heat-induced damage.
  • Follow the Use and Care Instructions provided with the propeller.
  • Monitor the effects of moisture content on wood propellers, as changes can cause dimensional shifts.

Is Your Wood Propeller Properly Torqued? Why does your wood propeller lose bolt torque? Your wood propeller is a living, breathing piece of wood that will change dimensionally over time and with temperature and humidity. A one percent decrease in moisture content will cause a 3-1/2” hub to shrink by .011”. One of these look-alike propellers has lost it’s bolt torque. Use your torque wrench, not your eyes to know if your propeller is properly torqued. Why proper bolt torque is so important. Friction drives your propeller. It is the friction between the propeller hub and the engine flange, supplied...
