Brief Description:  Some Advances, very small ones

"Some happenings, my prop was one that had some issues of the blades becoming loose enough to change pitch on a blade or two. The earlier fix of drilling out the end holes to 3/8 was part fix, but Sensenich thought the two halves were coming together before it clamped down on the blade hubs. They offered and I took them up on it, to machine down (.015 in as I recall) the hub cap. Got mine back today, really nice job as one would expect from a company like Sensenich. Now I can put it back together again.
There was also a problem with the ADHRS box ""oilcanning"" the tail top, and after a long time, Vans made a fix (saving me from making one myself) consisting of a ""rib"" extending across the top. I have to now position it precisely and drill 17 holes for pop rivets to hold it up there. All this has to be done by torturing my old stiff sore body back in that tailcone again, to drill and deburr and stuff again. I sure dread it."
