I bought my MT constant speed (hydraulic) prop several years ago.  Possibly 6 years -- I'd have to check.  I am not yet flying. 

 

1)  What would symptoms be of a propellor that needed work?  Exuding grease during operation?  What should I be looking for during my initial flights?  What characteristic would cause me to say "Whoops!  Better stop flying and send the prop to Florida right now" ?

 

2)  How much does a prop inspection cost?  I could envision a flight to Florida when the initial flight test period is complete.
