Running torque is especially critical on prop bolts, if you are using the steel locknuts (like I am). Running torque it 5 ft-lbs, so if the prop is supposed to be torqued to 10 ft-lbs, you need to set the torque wrench for 15 ft-lbs to compensate for the extra torque required just to get the nut on the bolt. I determined the 5 ft-lb running torque valve by sneaking up on the break-away position of my inch-pound torque wrench while tightening the nut on the bolt, which was clamped in a vise. I used the thin washers under both the bolts and the nuts for the WAFs. Mark Langford, Huntsville, Alabama see KR2S project N56ML at http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford email to N56ML "at" hiwaay.net
