Lynn
Postel & Dave Mackenzie visit to Prop Works
We flew the 6x on
Monday the 01/15/18 and carried the prop down to Winter Haven
(KGIF).
Front office of
Aircraft Propeller Works in Auburndale
This is the view from the office into the shop. The
prop governor shop is clear in the back, the repair areas
are seen on the left side, and the magna-flux area/room is
on the right.
This is the prop re-assembly area for all constant speed
props being repaired or newly overhauled props.
This view
just amplifies the previous photo. It took approximately an
hour and a half to do the complete re-pitch and retracked of
the prop. All in all a fine day as we went home, reinstalled
the prop and flew it the same day.
