I was just reading some posts about hand-propping and it brought to mind one of the pre-flight items that always makes me nervous: Pulling the prop through (seems like 10-15 blades) on the Evektor SportStar so that I can check the oil.
It's always bugged me, but with the composite 3-blade prop and the reduction drive, I have to put my hands near the hub (so I don't break the prop) and I have to curl my fingers over the blade (because I have no leverage and the redrive adds extra resistance)
Any 912 owners out there that have a better procedure?
