Default Off Centre

Mark,
It would only make you eccentric if the cover was off centre.

Hey, does it come in a horizontal model too or only the vertical model?


What kind of surface does it resemble on the inside? What is it made of? What did it cost? What prop you got under it? What is the meaning of life?

it didn't come with a prop. and come to think of it, it really needs a warning placard too.

Actually, the prop cover just makes you a man in love with your aircraft. Putting red stripes on the tips of the prop cover make you eccentric
