It's what my mentor recommends too. Easier to get balanced too evidently (as a gear supplier, he gets them balanced professionally by an aviation company before we take delivery, costs a little bit more that way, but so worth it)

Bad luck! What a frustrating day, you took it all with a very good spirit, and so did your wife. My wife would tell me to get a taxi! 😮

A good flight for me these days is when I don't have to land out.

It's it wonderful that low hung car enthusiasts are so aligned with us low flying free riders? Not a surprise really

Never heard of a prop delaminating. How old is it?

@markallisonparamotor

Ай бұрын

10 years old 😅

What caused your prop to delaminate in flight? Have you been foot dragging in the past and had debris hit the prop?

@markallisonparamotor

Ай бұрын

Yes I repaired it over a couple of years ago, but obvs not the best job, although it has been fine for quite some time.

Love that video Mark! Prop must have hit something at some point to have started delaminating. Ps you have a very tolerant misses. 😳

@markallisonparamotor

Ай бұрын

Yes it did a couple of years ago and I repaired it. I suspect the repair was not the best, and the prop is 10 years old.

By my experience props don't "delaminate" without a cause... Something fell into it. Most likely a loose screw, a spring, a lace from the harness, an unattached accel line or a brake toggle.

I repaired it a couple of years ago, and probably got worn, nothing has gone into the prop as far as I know

What is your average amount of flight hours between an engine out? you have a lot, but you also have a lot of flight hours. the one and only engine out I have ever had was 500 hours ago when a crankshaft bearing gave up. I had some stator problems but I always solved it before it gave up completely.

I've had 14 engine outs in 650 hours, is that a lot? Feels like it to me.

​ @markallisonparamotor I think based on your 1 engine/land out per 46 hours rate, I'm about where you're at in that sense lol. First one my fault I changed to a different spark plug wire and didn't grind the frame enough (see southwest airsports Top 80 ignition wire upgrade) and the second one there was a tiny sliver of plastic that got lodged in the main jet with my Thor 202 float carb. With that, I ended up re-launching from the American football field with the choke on, the main jet wasn't all the way clogged so it made power. I was near the rural airport (2,500 ft), someone in an airplane took off to come check on me and saw I had my wing laid out prepping to launch.
