    Default Recomendations for a prop shop near Austin for overhaul/repitching

    I am in need of another prop. The 74x61 that I took to have overhauled and repitched will not pass specs. Prop shop said it was too thin on outer tips. My brother is in Austin TX and has another 74x61. I would like to have it checked before shipping and doing the overhaul and repitching. Or just have that shop do the overhaul. Does anyone have a recommendation of a prop shop near Austin TX. Thank you in advance.

    Do you happen to know what the minimum thickness is, and how they go about measuring it? I've heard about this in the past, but don't know how they check it.
