McCauley propeller

Hi,

I have a neighbor who's got a McCauley twin blade propeller in his basement.
The thing is in fairly good condition and he was wondering if it is worth
anything. Can anyone help?

Thanks for the help!

He can take it to a light aircraft repair station (at nearly any small airport)
and ask them to check to see if it's airworthy. Might want to call and make an
appointment. Shouldn't cost too much. Then put it on Ebay. If it's airworthy,
it'll be worth several hundred dollars.

Hi Marcel

An aircraft propeller has a maintenance log.
If he has that it will tell him if it is current, if it is due for
overhaul, or if it has been rejected. If he takes the prop into a shop
it is important that he takes the log.

If he doesn't have a log then he would need to get it overhauled (at
which time he can get a new log) An overhauled zero timed log can be
worth a couple of thousand - the overhaul may cost 500 - 600.
