It's a thing of beauty! Heck, even the shipping box is impressive! I am looking forward to seeing it on your airplane.

1. Check the bolt torque every 10 hours until you get 50 hours, then every 20 hours.
2. Inspect closely for cracks along the grain after a year of use.

3. Throttle back to 2200 RPM in any visible moisture or you will erode the leading edge significantly.

I was satisfied with the performance until I met Craig Catto....

PS: I sold it and never looked back.
