Default What's WRONG with this picture?

Is it just me, or do you find something wrong with this months wallpaper? Something really different? No, I haven't built and RV-14, either, but I saw one once...

The only thing that struck me was the propeller didn't look right.
Almost as though it was a left handed prop although the paint markings looked right.
And not at all like the thumbnail on the home page.

The engine mount is what caught my attention.

At first I thought it was the prop--it sure looked like a left hand prop to me. On closer examination, I see the governor is the full-reversing type! Learning to back into the hangar is going to be a real trick

On second look, maybe it is just the prop...

I thought maybe the HS nose ribs should line up with the others. Maybe not on the 14?
