So, today I landed in what I thought was a dry field. The ground turned out to be damp and the dirt a bit "sticky". I suspect a piece of mud flung off the tire and was thrown (forward over the tire-live and learn) into the prop on landing. I sustained a small ding on the aft, trailing edge about 3/4 out from the hub. It's a Hartzell 83" composite prop. I can just barley feel the ding with a finger nail. The bigger area is just a paint chip. I thought I would discuss with Hartzell next week. Any suggestions? Epoxy filler?
