It's gorgeous Steve. Looks a lot different than the parts I seen spread around your hanger last spring. Going to put that picture up on my wall for inspiration.

Started building when plans arrived november 2013. Lost count of productive hours but think over 4000. Thanks for the interest.

Thank you Wojtek
I'm using a culver prop"vally engineering". Rolla missouri. 84x53". I prefer climb performance over cruise.
How are you making out with your very nice Hatz.
