Propeller Mounted

(July 13, 2025) I held off installing the propeller until after transport to the airport, so I was eager to complete this task now that my plane is at its new home.

The Airmaster instructions include steps to grease each blade holder as well as the hub, but I found that both had been already greased by the factory just as described in the install manual. So I simply proceeded with installing the prop blades into the hub per the instructions.

I used the spanner included with the propeller to tighten each of the blade retaining nuts to the proper torque, then installed the little locks that keep the retaining nut from backing out.
