Default Byron Prop Blades

GPaloz: I totally agree with you that the design is more than capable of handeling a better blade. Look at the Zinger hub and the wooden blades or that really nice Gerard unit that Frank Tiano and others market that has adjustable pitch. How many blades have they thrown? Have you ever seen a big wood prop part with a blade? I have. And it happened because after a very hard landing the modeler didn't do a good check on the prop which was broken inside the spinner. A bit of responsibility has to come into the picture here. If you fly model airplanes you need to preform the necessary inspections of your equipment. That responsibility rests solely on the modeler. How often to real full scale aircraft get inspected????. Good maintenance prevents most of the bad things from happening. I sure hope we Byron reduction owners don't give up this easily.
