My jack lowered (user error) and the airplane came to rest on the single propeller blade. The blade was pointing strait down when the engine lowered and the propeller blade bent a bit. Naturally when I jacked the airplane up again the blade straitened right out and now there is a delamination of the tip of the blade...in other words the front surface of the blade is separated from the back surface of the blade
I hear that these propellers can be fixed by simply injecting epoxy down into the crack and glueing it together.
Has anyone done this type of repair?
My plan is to use a syringe and shove some epoxy down into the crack as far as I can inject it and then clamp the blade together until it dries and then dress the edges as necessary.
Any advice???
