CFM Shadow
During my short time as a Microlight Inspector I was asked to do the annual on a Shadow microlight.
Airframe checked, now for the engine. A pusher 2 stroke with a multi bladed prop.
I cracked up laughing and had to walk away, thinking this is a send up!
Was it a test on me? Very tempted to ask the owner to taxy it for but he might overheat the motor. Yep, all the blades on backwards! He assured me it flew alright!
Had a look round his hangar, no clue so asked to see the actual prop he had been using. Then he produced the unapproved one he had been using with all the moans about the approved prop being poor etc.
Oh dear.
