Hi Laurie, There does not appear to be a specific regulation on tip colour. However the colour is there to make the propeller disc visible from the front. By all means try the blue, but if it does not produce sufficient contrast to make the disc visible I suggest you stay with the red on white or yellow on black. Incidentally I recall Hercules props with grey blades and narrow red, white & blue stripes on the tips; each colour band was about an inch wide. I think TAA might have used this colour scheme on Friendships & Viscounts etc too. Regards JGV Senior Technical Officer, Airworthiness GLIDING FEDERATION of AUSTRALIA INC.

Tips were resprayed in blue as previously. The Hoffmann prop tips are the standard red. I tossed around the thought of blue prop tips to match the wing tips and one comment was that red and yellow are the only permitted colours for prop tips. I havent heard this before. Anyone know any more? Hey Nige, we've bandied around the idea previously of a organising a Dimona fly in sometime. Maybe at Arkaroola or Broken Hill as fairly central locations. Any more thoughts?

Erich Witstock flew him down in it spoke to LAME at Lismore and he was surprised about the 250hrs - He said all I do is obey the maker (slick) and their service bulletins and they say 500hrs!!! He did say when engine is run on condition and engine and mag has done 2500hrs+ it can start to show. Notice the Swiss falke mag service (all exchange over to reserviced one) had 500hr service so it seems like the swiss ignore the Germans- Wonder what they do in France - I am sure it will not be same as Germans ian m On 9 May 2010 20:44, Nigel Baker <[email protected]> wrote: What new owner?
