Default Stud length

Now there's a subject line that could raise an eyebrow..

Hi Bob,

I was fiddling with my pylon prop assortment just received from APC, and when fitting one to my SJ50 last night to admire it I was concerned about the very small amount of prop stud remaining. The stud on mine measures 0.70" long, and the hubs on these 8.8" props measure around 0.56" - 0.57", leaving barely over 1/8" of thread engagement. That seems marginal to say the least, esp. with aluminum threads.

What's the scoop?

Thanks,

MJD
