It is good to hear that they can easily do everything in one day if I fly there. I have a total of 7 hours on my 200RV, but I will Fri, 22 May 2009 11:41:03 GMT rvaitor@... http://groups.yahoo.com/group/whirlwindpropellers/message/564 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/whirlwindpropellers/message/564 Ron, Thanks for posting this, I've been following the Whirlwind prop and considering one for my RV7(currently Hartzell). Keep us updated.

Last Tuesday I took off at dawn and flew to Austinburg, Ohio, home of Sun, 23 Nov 2008 00:37:45 GMT dansrv82001 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/whirlwindpropellers/message/562 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/whirlwindpropellers/message/562 Ron, I haven't heard if the time is still at 650 hrs or higher. I have about 170 hrs on my WW 200RV so it will be a long time for me. It will probably be best Fri, 14 Nov 2008 10:34:48 GMT Ron Schreck http://groups.yahoo.com/group/whirlwindpropellers/message/561 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/whirlwindpropellers/message/561 I'm coming up on 600 hours on my 200RV. Last I checked, the inspection cycle was 650 hours. Anyone hear of a change?

No oil slinging, no surging, tight blades, Sat, 19 Jul 2008 01:16:18 GMT demeylor@... http://groups.yahoo.com/group/whirlwindpropellers/message/559 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/whirlwindpropellers/message/559 I to have had great service I have a 151 and since the recall all is good.

I'd have to agree that Greg is always about getting you going ASAP.

Since quite a percentage of WW Fri, 18 Jul 2008 07:37:49 GMT dr107egt http://groups.yahoo.com/group/whirlwindpropellers/message/556 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/whirlwindpropellers/message/556 This forum has become quite silent.... especially with the period during the change of ownership..... I thought i would just say I have had cause to get some Sun, 15 Jun 2008 10:40:46 GMT Ron Schreck http://groups.yahoo.com/group/whirlwindpropellers/message/555 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/whirlwindpropellers/message/555 I called Greg Anderson last week to see about sending my 200RV prop in for the 500 hour inspection. I have over 470 hours on it now. Greg informed me that Wed, 09 Apr 2008 04:35:57 GMT flyrod56 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/whirlwindpropellers/message/554 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/whirlwindpropellers/message/554 ... My blades are tight, I check them all the time. I would ask Whirlwind about your blade play and try to measure it accurately.

I will continue to keep up the required inspections as I think that provides needed data
