RE: Need help with prop tracking...
Tacx, actually I have had a lot of prop strikes with the FL70, come to think of it, at least once every time I go to the field... (short gear, bumpy grass runway. I've been thinking of going to an 11" 3 blade to add clearance). I put my spare, never-run propeller on, without the back plate (stock plastic spinner), and saw that it was about 1/16" tracking difference; I think that's acceptable, but what do you think? I then put the backplate back on along with the new propeller and the tracking was back to about 1/8"...
As far as the Saito, I realized that I've been using the wrong reamer (7mm crankshaft, and I've been using the standard reamer. I am such an idiot sometimes...) so I'll have to buy a metric reamer and try again. I'll get back to you all on that.
So again, is 1/16" difference bad for the FL70? If I go ahead and get another Tru Turn spinner, it may stay that way. I need a spinner; I use an electric starter and I like my fingers too much to hand start.
