Earlier I questioned the blade reference diameter for the "square tipped" and "cuffed paddle blade", as seen on HS blade drawings, vs the oft stated 11'-2". Thanks to Jay Wisler, Tampa Fla. I now understand that the given "basic diameter " of 11'-0" is a blade reference dimension only. It also applies to both blade types (according to maintenance charts / minimum specs). The actual prop diameter of BOTH types is 11'-2" when fitted to a common 24D50 hub.
Thank to all that showed an interest in getting this sorted out.
