Hello forum, new member here. I'm looking at purchasing an Eagle with a light prop flange crank with a Whirlwind prop. I understand this normally requires a 25 hour inspection with the standard Hartzell metal prop. Does this inspection change once a lighter prop like a Whirlwind is installed? I have a Pitts S-1S that developed a crack in a light prop flange crank with a fixed-pitch metal prop so I'm kind of wary about this.

Thanks,
Paul Klusman
