Hey,

Why don't we use Belleville washers on wood propeller bolts?  Seems like
this is a similar idea to using constant torque hose clamps...  As the
wood shrinks and swells (due to changes in temp and RH), the washers
keeps a relatively consistent clamping force on the system.


Regards,

Matt-

Oh, nevermind... Jabiru already does that.  Dang.  I thought I had come up
with something clever..  I think I am going to figure out how to use them
on my Varieze, though anyway.
