Got bad news today: My hubs and clamps didn’t pass the AD inspection. The blades are just fine.  The prop shop quoted $30k for the needed parts. That’s out of my price range right this minute. Anyone have surplus props that would fit a 520 (same props as the 560, for what its worth) that they would be willing to part with?

Don't know if it helps any, but there is (was) a  fellow in our neck of the woods that had several sets of rebuildable Queen Air  props for a decent price.

  

 We were looking for them because we had briefly  kicked around the idea of picking up that 720 for sale as another camera  platform. Quite a lot was done to it, but it did need the props tended  to.

How much would a brand new set of Hartzells be today, just out of curiousity?

There are no brand new hartzells for the 520/560  airplanes, to the best of my knowledge....you have to go with the queen air  props.

  

 That being said, new compact hartzells for B,U,S  models are about $25k per pair. Although they sometimes run specials for  $17,500/pair.

Sounds like it might be time to drive your car into the  prop on the right side of the airplane, then back up around the left side and  hit the other one....then call the insurance company.   

  

 (Just kidding- for anyone involved in the insurance  industry...it was humor based upon the premise of how difficult it would be to  hit both sides.... really....humor....)

  

 now Bruce- if you happen to figure out how to make that  happen- I'd prefer I not hear about it.  hahahah...

Dont know if you  shopped around but I just had mine overhauled and found a wide range of prices and expertise.

 Might be worth a call to H&H Props 800-334-6437.
