>>All of you running wood props, what's the general consensus regarding prop
bolt torque. I bought my prop bolts from Sabre and he says to ask the prop
manufacturer. Great American is no longer in business...
 
Jeff Bertileit of Props Inc. (Newport, Oregon) recommended 20 to 25 foot-pounds of torque for the prop he made for my bird.
 
I check the prop torque every time I have the top cowl off which seems to be every 20 hours or less.  After the first few checks when new, no change in torque has been observed.
