Dear Paul of G-GIDY
It is interesting that you say sheared off instead of "cracked" off!
Is there anything there that could cut it off!
Or do you think it it just vibrated and fell off?
Since I am just ordering I am very interested.

Subject: Europa-List: Airmaster failure
Just had an open circuit failure of our Airmaster CS prop. Upon
investigation one of studs providing wire connection from the slip rings to
the pitch motor (the green wire) has sheared off!
No apparent damage to inside of spinner or blades and obviously no evidence
of the sheared bit of stud.
Anyone seen anything similar or any other thoughts.
Just recovered aircraft to workshop to investigate potential for repair.
Regards
Paul
