Prop track takes just a few minutes to check.With the plane parked in the hangar, place a block on the floor just behind the front prop. Let one blade just barely touch the block. Make sure mags are off, then turn the prop and bring the other blade down to the block. If they are in track, then the second blade will be where the first blade was in reference to the block. If not, let's say you have an 1/8 inch difference, then you have a track issue. Sometimes track can be corrected by moving the prop a bolt hole or two left or right on the flange.
