Hi Ferg,
No, the prop was as received -assembled- by woodcomp. No modifications.
But you seem to miss the point Ferg, i am not complaining about their
history, or their family tree. I have serious complaints about their
inplantation of components not designed and not suitable for the job
being asked from them.
The result of that poor design caused my accident.
If then folks, who are protecting their investment over their safety,
are trying to convince others that business is as usual, i get really
upset. Lack of knowledge is forgiveable. Not accepting facts or reducing
their importance is not, especially if others are possibly getting
involved.
Regards,
Jos
