Whoops! I am losing track. If I didn't say congratulations, then congrats on the engine start!

Fat fingered the last one. Duplicated a photo. Let's try that again.

Looks great! Love the homebuilt prop. Glad Mike spoke up, I was still waiting for the picture to load on the old phone.

Robbie
It looks good in it's new home. Hopefully that last 50% doesn't take too long. I think I have 50% of the last 50% done on mine.

Congratulations on the move, Robbie, and good luck with all of your last building tasks!

Yeah...let us know what your performance was with that prop! (It looks less expensive than the one I was planning to use!).
