A local guy cleaned it up. Then around 800 hours it started losing bite, lift and speed. I sent it to Mark Croxten and had him repair the prop. He calls it a repair but from my understanding its more of a refurbish. He will clean the prop and put all blades back into factory specifications. When I got my prop back it looked like new and performed like new. The person who cleaned it at the 4-500 hour mark obviously only cleaned the edges of the blades. With Mark's service you could see the entire prop had been cleaned. Plus he worked all the blades back into factory specifications.

I frequent another discussion board and that is how I learned about Mark and his service. He is highly regarded as one of the best prop guys in the nation. I will include a link to his website. Read his credentials and look at his before and after repair pictures...his work is second to none.

Second to none indeed, 48 hr turnaround and if you want a little more out of a prop - fill out his form and send it in and he'll tweek it....
