Bill:

You are right, your video clip is still in the files section.

I gather that is Tim Goldstein's prop pitch gauge. Do I need to make
any modifications to that gauge to use your re-pitching technique or
do I need to make a special thrust bearing, etc.?

What is the blue material on the prop in the video clip? Is this some
sort of heat shield or is it a reinforcement?

It looks like a piece of 3M blue masking tape. Is it needed?

What do you do if one prop spar is not perpendicular to the motor
shaft? We have an Ikara prop that looks like one prop spar is canted
forward maybe five degrees. Could this be responsible for the shudder
in the stablizer?
