TedSaidGo Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Hello! You guys are great, long time observer, first time writer here. Wondering what can be done about a prop strike that ended up cleanly breaking, I have a replacement set on my trike now, but would love to fix this one as a replacement set with its two other props (three prop trike setup). Suggestions? Thoughts? Thanks guys!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackburn Mark Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Its game over for that. There is no way to reattach those millions of fibres which are the basis of all its strength. A small chunk can be patched but from what I have seen, even that takes quite a bit of care and effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait for a full moon and quietly bury them on the moors, pretend it never happened! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffw Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 I must say I have seen Alan's sculpture not boasting, and I Am amazed at what some pilots will do to get at least a part of there paramotor into the lounge. Ps it's always a talking point and yes there rather expensive, but nice .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
