  I went up to the San Juan islands for the weekend and when I was
setting the  pitch on my prop as I was about to leave I found these
cracks in my Warp drive prop hub and I was stuck on Orcas island for
two more days until I got another prop hub in, darn  what a bad place
to be stuck but for some reason no one felt sorry for me, my friend
said that he was stuck in LA working so things could be worst.
  I have talked to Warp Drive and they say that they may make a
thicker plate for me, the inner plate is 3/8 inch the outer plate is
1/4 inch and that plate is the one that cracked, the plates are made
from made from 2024 T-6.
