    Looking for a prop

    Thats one of the things I am trying to find out. I am putting a continental 065 in a minicoupe. I am guessing that I will have to measure from prop hub to the ground, less about ten inches? Somebody said about 56 inch but did not know the pitch. So I can see I have some digging to do.

    BRS - don't leave the ground without it

    If the money was not a factor, I would have one installed in any plane That I may ever own. That being said, I will never go parachuting.

    Hart Aero be careful/ripoff

    I have owned my companies for 20 years in good times and bad, If a job is being paid for when job is completed then you can have delays. But when a job is paid in full at the start of the job, Delivery must be made on time. Thats the reason to pay up front. In my way of thinking, if you cannot...
