The following photos of the project are the removal of the propeller
and disassembling the hub at the Connecticut Air and Space Center.
This is a good time to acknowledge Connecticut Corsair,
Craig McBurney, and crew.
The help and the special tools, that are in short supply and
required to work on the Corsair, along with the knowledge
and support from Connecticut Corsair have been outstanding.

It's almost ready to turn.
Off at last, and now to remove the three-bladed
Hamilton Standard constant-speed propeller.

Rigging the prop for removal.
Craig is checking the rigging over, to be sure it's OK.
Still checking.
A little nudge, and nothing, so we go to a big nudge it still won't move.
So they just keep working it....
And it's off.
A look at the prop hub...
From different angles....
and a close-up.
