I'll admit that I'm always learning something new about these aircraft....no matter how long I'm around them. Since purchasing a brand new Vperiod B-530 TA six years ago I have learned lots of *stuff* about it, which parts interchange with the CJ prop, what is under the paint on the blades, etc. I have always known that the Russian paddle blades came in different blade diameters but I had assumed that everything in the hub was the same between different versions.
 
And, I always wondered why I was unable to reduce RPM down to the Cruise II setting. Turns out that there are different sizes of that little metal ring that is attached to the end of the prop dome piston with those flat cotter pins. "Duh", my brain said when I measured the amount of coarse pitch travel that this removeable ring limits. Just 1/8" difference in ring thickness makes a big difference.
 
Now, I'm going to get some real economy :>)
