Default Whirlwind 151 ? The Wraps Are Off!

We?ve had our prop for most of the year, and with all the construction, have never taken the wraps off the blades (when you pay that much for a prop, you want to keep it nice!). Today, the wraps came off ? ain?t it Purty?!! Made me useless for the rest of the build session?.just wanted to stare at the prop?



[We bought this prop very slightly used on the forums, and had Whirlwind go over it with a fine-toothed comb. They replaced the aluminum-ferule blades with the newer steel ferules so we'd be clear of the 100 hour maintenance restriction. We had a choice of blade and tip color, and the folks in Ohio were a pleasure to work with!]
