Dave 

A place to start is to determine what prop you have now. You said its a 53 
diameter  but what pitch? I have a prop for sale which is a 54 diamater 52 
pitch which is probably too much for a 1835 VW. If you would like to see how 
this prop is marled go to http://jackskr2.webstarts.com/   . In this case it is 
marked on the side of the hub but I think others are marked on the face of the 
hub and would require removing to determine the pitch.

Another 'bit' from my last week's work on the plane: 

One tip of the wood prop has about a 3" crack in it going through all 
but the last outer ply 'skin' on the back of the prop. 

It's a 53" prop, on an 1835 (presumably HAPI) VW. 

1) Is repairing such a crack safe/economical, and if so, how does one go 
about doing it?

Just to add my 2 cents on the matter, many composite techniques guides 
suggest this type of boding with a mixture of flocked cotton in the

I have tested and used T88 to bond aluminum to wood.  The only 
preparation I
give the aluminum is to roughen up the surface with sand paper and then
clean with acetone to remove the dust.
Cheers.

Hi everyone, not to interrupt the ignition stream, but was looking at the 
Revmaster site. Was curious if you all had any info on the prop pictured on the 
2100. I would really like a constant speed package, but also understand the 
difficulty enveloped when applied to the VW direct drive. Below is the link 
with 
the R-2100 pictured.

Here's a question for the net. I looked in the archive for info on epoxy 
shelf life, but didn't find much. My concern is knowing that the epoxy is safe 
to 
use or not. I purchased all the materials to build my KR2 in '97 and that gave 
me a lot of time for the epoxy to sit. I have completed the tail section 
without too much problem, but if the resin is stored for an extended period as 
is 
now it crystallizes and requires slow heating to decrystalize it. I also am 
needing a better more confident method of mixing the correct ratio on the Dow 
system 330 from Wicks. Should I scrap the 6 remaining gallons and use something 
else or just buy some new hardener or any other suggestions would be 
appreciated.
>>PS Mark L., do you still have your original Type 4. I am considering 
strongly using one instead of the 2180, estimated to install next summer.
