I thought the propellor hub problems were with the DG1000 & Duo Turbo?
I wasn't aware the Antares 18T had this problem as their hub design is


No, DG1000 and 18T had same faulty hub (redesigned twice now).
Loose prop when hub breaks often causes havoc (went thru DG wing in ground run,
wing was almost totaled), bounced of fuselage in other instances).
Duo T is completely different (folding prop).
