| PropPastie is a ground-use only cover that will minimize snow, ice, and water from lying on your propeller hub bearings and freezing inside your spinner.
PropPastie is made of the highest quality UV-stabilized materials, designed to withstand all but the most extreme temperatures. PropPastie been tested to remain in place in up to 51 mph wind gusts (highest wind speed used in testing). The material used actually stiffens in cold temperatures; this stiffness, in combination with Velcro, holds the PropPastie in place.
The proper way to position a propeller in the winter is to position a blade vertically on the bottom, in order to allow water to drain. However this will allow water, snow and ice to sit on your propeller hub bearings. This could have disastrous effects should any water leak into your propeller hub. Without PropPastie, blowing snow also could end up inside your spinner and cause a detrimental imbalance. Use PropPastie to help protect your controllable pitch propeller hub and bearings from water and ice. It will also help protect your engine and airframe from vibration caused by snow and ice in the spinner. When the danger of freezing is past, position the propeller at about 30 degrees off of vertical to help discourage birds from sitting on it. |

- Fits all popular light aircraft
- PropPastie will not stay in place on a fixed pitch propeller in high winds during the summer, because the material is not stiff as it is in the winter and the fixed pitch propellers do not narrow at the hub.
- The PropPastie is designed to be a ground-use only cover; it must be removed before starting the engine or before flight.
- Made in the USA
