Prop mounting
NOTE
: Here is some terminology we’ll use in this section.
The “front” is the direction the pilot faces while flying, the “rear” is the opposite direction.
The “front” of the prop can be identified by the thick side of the prop blades (leading edge).
The “rear” side of the prop can be identified by the thin side of the prop blades (trailing edge)
as the upper blade section shown below.
Mounting the prop is quick and easy.
Place the rear prop flange on the rear side of the prop.
Insert the six (6) prop bolts through the rear prop flange
and prop.
Place the front thickness flange between the propeller and
the reduction taking attention to fit the little centering hole
in the prop.
Screw the bolts to the reduction drive and tighten them
evenly.
The correct torque to use is 50-inch lbs. MAX.
A more practical “field method” of torquing is to tighten
the bolts snuggly and evenly, but not enough to begin to
crush the wood of the prop.
Mounting the prop,
the red arrow indicate the
direction of propeller rotation
Assembly inspection
It is critical to fully inspect the assembly of the
“KOMPRESS”
to find and remedy any potential
problem areas before proceeding.
The inspection should contain, at a minimum, the following items:
Review each assembly step above
Examine all nuts, bolts, and fasteners for security
Check the harness for correct mounting, that all straps are secure, that there are no twists on
any straps
Examine prop cage for correct assembly, that it is strong, the netting is tight and on the
correct side
Check that nothing can get in the prop. The prop should clear the cage by same distance at
all points.
Check the fuel tank and fuel delivery system.
Check for correct mounting of prop, and correct torque of prop bolts.
