Hi Steve

Is this recent then?

I’m not able to get to my aircraft at present to check my flex plate which has probably seen 50 hours of service.

Was it possible to see these cracks assembled?

I would appreciate your reflections on Tracys latter choice to remove the damper, and particularly when using a timber/glass prop such as an MT.

It would be great to have an update and current info from Tracy regarding his no damper hours if anyone can contact him.

Very helpful, thanks again Steve
