How would that work?

You pay for the swap of those serviceable parts in exchange for your worn parts?

I actually went to a Museum I know that has the prop I need and proposed that exact swap I said I would cosmetically restore my prop in exchange for their prop as long as it was good. 

+money but that was met with a resounding NO!

Well from personal trying this for Air Force aircraft and aircraft sitting at the gate on to a base . I got a big no also. Military retired aircraft don't belong to the base or the Air Force any longer , they belong to congress and unless it will do something for them they won't approve it.

Yes, i would not even attempt with any aircraft on a federal installation for that exact reason, this was a private non profit museum so I thought they might be open to the idea and it would give them cash for other projects and operations.

Nothing a little JB weld wouldn't fix. Get the slow dry stuff. It's good for Mach 6.

A little good news, prop shop has finally completed the prop(4.5months) hoping to get it back next week.   

This whole experience has left me with a little sour taste SO i have been working a project in the back ground.

 I will post up prop install pictures and the longevity project I have been working on soon.

Prop is back on!   Need to torque it up and pup the dome back on.  Went really smooth, I had the governer overhauled also.  Looking forward to get it in the air and see if she's any smoother.

Sweet!

I hadn’t forgotten about getting to boca chica. New gig had me tied down for a while. Hoping to get back down there soon.
