    Wow Ed Sterba

    Got to meet Ed Saturday to look at my prop for refinishing. What a legendary man. So much information on propellers and planes in general. Thanks Ed for all the information and can't wait to have my prop looking new again. Great to live an hour drive away from someone like him.
