REPAIR (Cont)
Refer to the figure below
showing the propeller on the
pitch block after straightening.
In figure below the upper
edges of the blade are about
an inch above the pitch block.
This is because the pitch
block is for a propeller with
a pitch of 17 inches, where
the propeller is a 24 inch
diameter propeller with a
pitch of 18 inches. An
efficient blacksmith with an
eye for blade configuration
can determine the amount of
shaping and pitch alignment.
