Prop Repairs
I've 'dinged' my prop
I'll post a pic later, but a chunk of one blade is cracked. Theres no bits missing.
a. Can it be repaired?
b. Is it cost effective?
c. Where is the best place to take it ? (South West area if poss)
Thanks for your help
ps its a stainless type

Propellor revolutions are in Poole, and yes it's worth getting repaired!

there is a company in London and typically costs £80 for repair - even if a chunk is missing!
Steel Developments
I like them.

Why is everyone sending their engines to be repaired in the States? Is it that much cheaper with shipping etc?

Yuppers! all the parts come from the states anyway so you would be paying some shipping. as the pound is strong against the dollar at the moment it seems to work out alot cheaper
