Bob,

I would recommend a Google or other search on "NSI CAP 140 Propeller" to get as 
much background information as possible.  I believe there may be a Canadian AD 
on the prop.  NSI used to have a website ( http://www.nsiaero.com/ ) but it  is 
no longer operating.      Caveat Emptor.

Is it possible in the UK to replace the CAP 140 on a flying Europa with another
prop (Warp Drive, Airmaster, Whirlwind, WoodComp, etc.)?  Can this be done 
economically
in this case?

Check six,
Bob Borger

would be appreciated.
