I feel your pain, Neal!
Two weeks ago today, I called Van's and ordered my Hartzell BA prop. I put over half deposit on it, and they told me 2-4 weeks lead time. Last monday, I got a call saying Hartzell was ready to ship my prop and could I please remit the balance due
Prop arrived on thursday. I'm not quite ready for it yet, but it sure is pretty! My bank account is still mad at me though...

My poor credit card is screaming in agony and I have that unpleasant feeling in the pit of my stomach that always accompanies making very large purchases.
Oh well... buy once, cry once, eh?
I guess I must recite my two rules about money and aviation...
1) Never ever try to cost-justify owning and flying a small aircraft. It's impossible.
2) Never ever add up all the money you've spent on owning and flying small aircraft. You don't want to know.
