was done, there were two large dis-continuitiesor crack indications whichshowed up in an area where real cracksdo nOl occur. The Hartzell overhaulmanual does not allow any "indications"of cracks. It does allow a certain amountof dressing with a suitable grinding toolto dress out the indication.The considered opinion was the hubleft the factory with these indicationssince they appeared to be forge laps or1001 marks in an area that does not promOlereal cracks and that, by visual examinations,were covered over by theorigi nal cadmium plating.In this case, being advised of the factyour S2,(){}{) prop hub may need replacingis sort of like being advised youflunked the AIDS test and then findingout the test results were for the guy inline ahead of you.I doubt there would be anyone willingor able 10 crank up production of theBeech 2lS prop with 88-inch bladesagain, but I know of at least one CUSlOmerthey would have!I would like to say that Hartzell satup and took notice of a legitimate complaintfrom a user of their products. I wassurprised that [ was the first to complainsince I later found out I' m not the first tofigure out what was going on. I still maintainthat if there was a prop on the marketthat was in competition with theHartzell for the splined crankshaft engines,aside from the original Beech 21 S, that theprices involved to purchase and maintainthem would be considerably less.Mine is fixed, and I've swallowed thefix -it pill. Let's just hope this MV changedoes the job and the rest of the thing holdstogether.
