The book can be purchased from P-Prop, but here is a snippet excised from the humourous chapter entitled
"The Ten Comandments of Wooden Prop Care":
THE TEN COMANDMENTS OF WOODEN PROP CARE
1.Thou shalt never force a prop to fit.
2.Thou shalt keep an absolutely tidy and clean prop and engine flange.
3.Thou shalt mate a full size crush plate to thy prop hub.
4.Thou shalt torque the bolts properly.
5.Thou shalt track thy prop to maximum performance.
6.Thou shalt help thy prop do battle against sun, weather and moisture migration.
7.Thou shalt keep thy prop clean.
8. Thou shalt ground thy craft rather than fly with even a slightly damaged propeller.
