Propeller !!!













I picked up my prop from Western Propeller in Richmond BC this weekend. It is a thing of beauty. It also looks like the yellow on the prop is the same yellow as the plane.
Mounted the prop temporarily to fit the bottom cowl. The prop fits the flange in only 2 positions as I found out. It is a pain to do up the bolts cause the heads are in a slot and can only be tightened a little bit at a time in sequence. It's an even bigger pain taking them out again.
Putting the bottom cowl on with a 3 blade prop is a bear. The slot in the bottom needs to be extended forward about 6 inches. I made a filler to cover the slot in flight.
