Anybody else had this issue? It's a Whirlwind GA200L (ground adjustable). The first flight was Sunday and the plane has 15.1 hours on the Hobbs. After the test pilot came back today, he did nothing but rave about the prop and it's performance. After pushing it back into the hangar, I noticed a ripple on the one blade. The other blade shows stress in the coating, but not a complete issue, like in the blade photos shown. There is no nicks or imperfections in the leading edges, but the blade shown does have a hairline crack in the backside of the leading edge. Just glad it didn't depart the plane.
Have a message in to Whirlwind. I'll let you know what they say. I guess I needed something to go wrong, as everything else has been pretty darn good so far.
