Torqued prop bolts
Dave Burton brought over a torque wrench at the party yesterday. (Thanks Dave!) I have a wrench, but it doesn’t go high enough to torque the prop bolts. I needed something in the 30 ft-lb range. I used the economy extension (3/4″ bolt and nut and 3/4″ double ended wrench) and Julie hung onto the prop. Very easy process.
The not-so-easy process was safety wiring the nuts. Access is really poor because of the spinner back plate. I safetied them in pairs, and it took me two tries for each. One might not be tight enough, but the other two look good. I’ll check with somebody who knows more than me, and maybe redo the last one again.
