    Re: Prop cupping in Brisbane?

    I’ve had prop work done by performance propellers in Brisbane and Solas on sunny coast and can’t fault either of their work. Prop repair aust on goldy also gets a good reviews however I have not used before.

    As for price best bet is calling them and ask.

    Also with prop guys I find it best to tell them what your trying to achieve as opposed to what you want done.
    “I want to drop 200rpm” or “I want to reduce blow out in turns” as they will hopefully have a better idea on how to achieve that.

    Last prop I had done was slipping a bit so I asked for some cupping, prop man asked a few questions and turns out that by sharpening the trailing edge and tips as well as some very very minor cupping to the tip makes a huge difference to how a prop grips. I left disappointed as I had asked for something but didn’t get what I was expecting. Then I tried it and it was perfect! Guess that’s why he is a prop guy and I am not.
