I have a question for anyone that has any experience with Xoar props.
I purchased a 16x8 laminated xoar prop at a air show 2 weeks ago and while mounting it on my engine I noticed it was beginning to split at the tip of one blade.
I took the prop off the engine and inspected it to find that it was not a split but was where the prop was laminated together was coming apart...
The split ran the full length of the prop and was only visible on the back of the prop.
Also I saw something that really scared me was that the crack was filled with wood filled to cover the the crack.
I sent a note to xoar along with pictures of what i found on this prop but have not had a response form them yet.
If you are using these props look real close to the dark areas of the wood as it might be a dark colored filler as mine was.
PS. the two logos on the front of the prop were undisturbed indicating the prop was not broken by use but came from the factory this way. And someone had done this and allowed it to pass inspection and be available for public use. as you can see in the photos this is a pretty dangerous prop.
