Calling Whirlwind tomorrow about loose sealant at the aluminum ferrule/ blade root area. Two blades have very small amounts black specks ( similar to what's seen on " smoking rivets) coming from the root area.This airplane is white...so everything is visible.lol The prop is about midtime on the 5 year recommended overhaul time...and roughly 100 hours on it. No movement in any of the blades is visible. I'm sure Whirlwind will want it sent in,but wanted to see if anyone has a similar experience with loose sealant in these areas...thanks
