just wanted to give a little info to the board about solas impellers
I was talking to a gent at PPG about this --R after the prop #
and all your paying for is a dude to put the prop in a pitch
block to make sure it is what the box said it is,

I went to the solas web site and they say how they are cast so
they do not have to bend the blades and they are cnc for clean up
witch is well within .005 if not closer,

they talk about there quality controle and they use a core dent
measuring devise or machine so these are so right on when
they leave the factory, I would think with that kind of quality
controle id be hard pressed to get the wrong boxed prop.

if you asked them theres got to be a measurement that would
tell you what prop you have I dont no why they dont ingrave them
the CNC could do that in 3 seconds.

Even the "R" prop will be a bit off from blade to blade. When the prop is sitting flat on the bench..take a rule and measure how far above each blade is from the surface of the bench. An easy bet....all 4 won't measure the same. Which means...a lil tweakin may be in order...depending an how meticulous you are about your mods.
