Prop Drilling - Which way??
Ok, 1:22 a.m. and I want to drill my CF prop for my DA50. Do the bolt holes go 12 and 6 / 9 and 3 with the prop sitting at 9 & 3? or is it the 10/4 - 7/2 o'clock position???

Mac,
Mine are at about the 2/8 and 11/5 position with the prop blades vertical. On my DA this results in the prop at about the 2/8 position when it hits compression. That's the best position for me to hand flip.

Drill from the back. If you are not exactly precise in your
drilliing, the holes will come closest to matching the bolt
holes in the hub.

I don't remember what it is on the clock....
but yes.....I bring the motor up to compression where the ignition sensor isright at the pickup... I then position the prop so it will be at about 2:00
then mark that for a rough spot... I then use the jig to drill.......
so when i am done the prop is up at 2:00 and easier for me to start
