McCauley prop question

Post by rickyricky2 »

Hi All
Does anyone know the correct distance from the blade tip to center of the old McCauley brand sticker?
I am guessing the up blade the sticker is right-side up, and the down blade it is up-side down.

Thanks

I put mine on half way out. Not sure if that's where they were, but they look good. The old ones were long gone. They are upright on the right side (of the plane - down blade and inverted on the left side - up blade).

if you can wait another day I'll post a picture with a tape measure showing distance from the tip. I can confirm that mine also is right side up on the down blade and the opposite at the other end.
