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-


I have always wondered about that myself Matt.
