Hi all, My major overhaul is about completed and I thought that the prop should be overhauled at the same time. Nice try. The prop was returned as unairworthy. Seems that the tips were too thin. Maybe it was a good thing I found out now. The overhaul from G&N is 14,500 and I was hoping that I would get by with just that. Alas. Not to be. I need a new prop $1,750 from Cessna. Also purchased a new stainless steel stack from Univail to match the one I installed last year. That was $540 with the discount. At the very least I should wind up with a heck of an airplane. Anyone out there with a yellow tagged prop for my 85 hp 514-D 7148 with a flange f itting? Ok try this one..... For years, I have suffered through the problem that my Coupe was only reading 93 when the others were about 100 or so. That is with the same RPM and same prop pitch. . I am wondering if my prop, with the thin tips, were flattening out at full throttle and not biting the air enough.. I am hoping that the fresh overhaul and a new prop will give me a slight increase in cruise.. Anyone agree??
