Hank,

No.  No problem with loose blades yet but I don't have that
many hours on it.  About 35 or so.  The current hub is
knurled to put a better bite on the blades and the bolt
torque values were increased as well to 55 ft/lbs.

There is a new, higher pitched version of the IVO magnum
available now but I don't know anything about it.  Hopefully
they have increased the pitch at the root of the blades for
high speed aircraft such as the Lancairs.

Neil
