Location: Des Moines IA		Is it possible to have my 15 pitch aluminum prop modified to a 16 pitch?

All prop shops that do repairs will have the forms needed to re-pitch your prop after being dinged, bent, etc. They can also add cupping around the rear edge of the blades to increase bow lift, stern lift, etc. as well.

Location: Des Moines IA		Sweet! I've got a 15 that's out of balance. 15 is too many rpms, 17 isn't enough. I'll have the damaged prop re cupped to a 16 and be in the $!!!!
