by Peter De Necker
Peter de Necker
Peter de Necker was born in South Africa. After graduating from Goudstad Teachers Training College in 1976 he taught mathematics, science and carpentry for 7 years. Propeller making started as a hobby and in 1983 he bought a second-hand Fledge, powered by a single cylinder 22 hp Sachs engine.
 
To date he has designed and carved over 2400 propellers for the microlight industry, amateur-built aircraft, motorised gliders, vintage aircraft, the South African Council for Scientific and Industrial Research Aeronautical Division, Integrated Systems and Technologies (spy planes), Agricura Crop Spraying Services, Orsmond Aerial Services and Kentron Military Division. Peter lives in Randburg in the Gauteng Province of South Africa with his wife Bets and his daughter Lizaan.

Peter de Necker has written a highly informative and concise book entitled "The Handling, Care and Maintenance of Wood Propellers". Besides giving you a very good idea of how to look after your wood prop and the theory behind its operation, it is also extremely entertaining and a good read! It combines the wealth of experience that Peter has gained over the years with sound theoretical explanation.
 
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.
 
9.Thou shalt routinely inspect thy prop for signs of dry rot.
 
10.Thou shalt keep the faith with a damaged prop.
 
...Just a taste! The book is filled with plenty tips and hints to keep your wood prop operating safely and efficiently. Remember, you get a free copy with every purchase of a P-Prop propeller!
