Aerobob,
So glad to have you back in the thread. You mentioned drilling holes to put in hard dowels, are these in addition to the mounting holes? Great idea! I had a Xoar prop on a YS110 that got compressed so badly. Your trick will work there too.
Yep. Works just fine, done it several times on softer hubs. "Trick" is to be very careful and NOT overdrill the holes for the dowels, so they have to be "driven" in and are snug. That makes sure the CA will wick on the whole circumference of the dowel, and probably actually adds some strength.
