Tips and Tricks

Setting up reference marks for field changes:

1. Start on level surface, measure up with tape, make sure both blades measure the same distance from ground to ensure the blades are horizontal and level.

2. Use a marker and make a reference line on the starter ring and bring line to cowling or other reverence that will be repeatable.

3. Now rotate the prop 180 degrees and bring the next blade to the same measured distance from level surface as the previous blade and make another reverence mark.

Single hand pitch paddle operation:

Most digital levels have a magnet incorporated in them. Attached a thin strip of steel to the level shelf with epoxy, this allows for hands free operation and better repeat ability.

Pitch paddle orientation:

1. When the blades are horizontal and level, slide the pitch paddle on the blade and mark where it stops.

2. Remove the pitch paddle and use a level to draw a vertical from the mark.

3. This line will now serve as vertical reference.
