There was an item in the Lancair Newsletter many, many moons ago which responded, in reply to a similar enquiry, that "they" at Lancair had managed to torque down the fibrax filler hard enough initially that there had subsequently been no significant "droop". But the exchange obviously implied a potential problem, and I therefore fitted hard spacers in holes in the fibrax under the hard points, as they suggested, just in case. I may be biassed, of course, but it seems to me that after an average 2-3 years flying amongst the (8) Lancairs here in Lelystad, Holland, that there is a difference between the amount of spinner/prop droop amongst those who did and those who didn't.
