Cap 140 prop

[DesertFox4]

Prop probably was an early version as this happened about 1999 or 2000 and his was the first one of those I'd seen at the time.
The blade actually broke off just below the hub, not the hub. He did have concerns about the hub having too much "play" in it after a short time in service but there was no way to remove the excess play. Did this cause the blade to fatigue and depart? Not sure. Was it a bad blade? Either way that was enough for me to look elsewhere for a prop.

I had also read something about the play in the head after short time accrued,..its similar to a planatary,..which in some cases use a shim..to remove any excessive lash,..NSI said in one of the reports that the "sloppiness" of the blades is removed in rotation once the prop exceeds 2500 rpm,..personally I don't think it should have any slop
the reason why my interest in the prop ,..one of the kits I'm looking at has this prop,..and the guy selling is big on the prop,..using it's abilities as a selling point,..if I do purchase that kit I will most likely replace the prop.
and the NSI CAP140 will be hangar wall paper.
