Just a curiosity question. When someone drops a props pitch from a 27 to a 25. Is that a major job or something thats done quite often? I picked up a Tempest that was dropped from a 27 to a 25 and it doesn't look like it was touched. It just has 25 stamped below the 27 and does this affect the overall performance to the prop or will it just run like a 25? I have had cup added to props and it dropped Rs a tic but it was nothing more that working the rear of the blades. Thanks Lee
