Maxpro prop reversed?

[milagroman]

Removed the prop shaft to change the cutlass bearing and when cleaning the 2 blade maxpro feathering prop observed that when feathered the prop looks reversed?? Seems weird, so to correct I take apart the body and reverse the blades and reassemble?

Whomever installed the prop reversed the blades. Have fun reinstalling it. It's not simply taking it apart and reversing the blades. You will need to record the pitch settings as you disassemble the spinner halves and interior parts, so that you can properly set the pitch when you reassemble the prop. Download the manual from the PYI website.

Pro tip- It's a 3-handed job.
