Tom

1. Use a good drill press.
2. Drill from the back of the prop.
3. If you don't have a drill guide you can use the prop washer if you are careful, be sure to use a 10mm bolt and nut to hold it securely to the back of the prop.

thanks for the quick reply; the drill press is mediocre, but will have to do, i guess...thanks for the tip regarding drilling from the back of the hub and for the idea of stabilizing the combination with the 10mm center bolt.
