Well done Guy's

Yes Bogan, Cheers for that - The new DA is on its way already and you haven't even received the broken one yet! And to top it off DA / PBG is replacing the prop that broke too! Hows that for service?!

Thanks guys

What else can you say?, In my experience DA performance and service are second to none.

Jenko · 01-05-2007, 06:06 AM

DA defiantly rocks.

Not only is their serrvice great, I think that a DA 50 has the best power to weight than anything out there! On a tuned pipe......SICK!

Kinda takes the risk out of buying a DA....perhaps that's why the sell so fast when you decide to sell for whatever reason hmmmmm?

paffy · 01-05-2007, 04:31 PM

C'mon - this story is too good to be true. I'm sure the whole thing is just a DA publicity stunt

Looks like the keyway sheared off on the tapered shaft after lockup or whatever allowing the hub to spin off with the other goodies that were attached to it. Nice save, just be thankful that the spinner and what was left of the prop went the other way and not entering the airframe, that could have been a catastrophic failure
