10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:blue'>The 160s and 170s changed the the thrust
washer to make it more aggressive bite on the spinner. The slip will
happen then the aggressive bite that is there gets smoothed off and then its tough
to get it to bite properly again.</span></font><u1:p></u1:p><font color=black><span

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=blue face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:blue'>Another little trick is to tighten the
prop...run the engine a little and get everything heated up...then stop
it...Tighten the prop up again and lock the double jam nut down onto it. Your
collet behind the thrust washer can get compressed a little and it will
actually slip if the engine backfires. Its because the collet is compressed X
number of times and the grip on the taper is not as good. This is usually only
a problem when the when you have had the thrust washer off the
engine and the first time you tighten it back up. If the thrust washer has not
been removed from the collet then its probably not the issue...</span></font><u1:p></u1:p><font

10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:blue'>It works well. Not trying to pimp the
product but it was designed to solve this problem and also the bigger hub 3D
props had this problem too. The 160's and 170's don't tend to suffer from
this as much. The 140DZ has a good bit of compression and tends to have a
bigger kick....so the it can throw the spinners loose more that the others. </span></font><u1:p></u1:p><font

clogged up then you can get reduced fuel flow and it will make the engine go
lean for a split second on the throttle up. Its amazing what a small piece of
lint can do. If your fuel filter is the screw together type check it to make
sure its tight and not pinching the o-ring to allow an air leak.</span></font><u1:p></u1:p><font

sandpaper like Adrian stated, Put two pieces back to back and CA them with thin
CA and it makes a good surface area grip. Another option is a small disk of
aircraft ply like 1/8th soaked in thin CA with the sand paper on both sides.
Tighten it to compressed the wood then CA it again and then tighten the prop
back up.</span></font><u1:p></u1:p><font color=black><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

was running a 140 Sport and put a 140DZ in his model. The foam clunk seems

Titan…Started as it usually does, and while it was at idle I adjusted the
transmitter to get it dialed in after my Tx repair / reprogramming. This took
about 15 to 20 seconds…Let it warm up a little longer and then slowly increased
rpm…About ½ throttle on the stick, somewhere between 5,000 and 7,000 RPM I
heard a low freq buzz (sounded like an electric motor burning up…vbg)…shut it
down and found that the spinner loose (new spinner, new prop APC 16 x 11). This
is the set up I have flown with this engine for 3 years…<u1:p></u1:p></span></font><font

bad…Tightened everything up again, started nice idled well, then transitioned
to full throttle. Again at half throttle, it popped, quit, and shavings of prop
flew every where. It was violent. The spinner is bent worse than I ever saw
before by anyone…The prop was intact except for the missing chunks at the hub
