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!]
