"Most of them have a hoffman four blade prop"
And I don't, as you know. Until I get a definitive answer from Robin, it stays on the ground....

"In future, may I respectfully suggest, that if you have a problem with what you have been told by the engineers responsible for the maintenance of your aircraft then why not discusss it further with them rather than asking all and sundry on a public forum?"
"This thread seems to have gone down the route of being another anti-engineer one which I don't think was probably the object of the exercise originally."
Absolutely, smarthawke -what started, I assumed, as a perfectly reasonable query, has been totally exploded out of complete proportion!!
You will note that I haven't mentioned any names and I HAVE discussed it with the engineers, at length, I assure you! I can also assure you that I have no axe to grind with them and If I did, they would be the first to know about it. My goodness, you seem to think I've accused them publicly of commiting a heinous crime!
As a naturally concerned pilot of some 13 years now, sharing a wonderful piece of machinery with seven others, I'm looking for a definitive answer -no ifs, no maybes, no buts.......particularly since we have a new engine with a mere twenty hours on it.
Lycoming have referred me to Robin, of whom I am still awaiting a definitive answer.
