more. 550 hrs. it has been good.

do you need a constant speed prop for an RV-9? probably not, but there was one time my wife and I were taking off from Goodspeed airport (42B, 2100 ft strip) fully loaded, at 1/3 down the runway a flock of geese that were hidden from view lifted off and started climbing across the runway. we out climbed them by 10 ft. that paid for the prop.











the geese (about 30) were behind the hangar. there was only one direction out for them.
