[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 441014, member: 15636"] Don't worry, I am a big Turning Point prop fan and was just curious if it was one of the new "pressed aluminum" models. That line of props are UNREAL in performance! And I understand your reservations about posting the make, but your points about how anyone can have an issue at times - and the fact that they stand behind their products - is really good to know and make help other's choose a prop in the future. I worked on turbine aircraft engines and did "blade strike" testing for months, and we had unanticipated failures of blades spinning at 33,000 RPMs :shock: , so I'm all too well aware that it can happen. We use to measure their depth as imbedded in the concrete test cell to determine the force involved. Thanks for the update, appreciated! [/QUOTE]
