Agreed, the prop looks short. Perhaps it is curled but you cannot tell from that angle. The side photo in the article is blurred so it is herd to know.

Very interesting, thanks Tim

Aircraft is under contract. Thank you all. Kevin

You have a terrific airplane and I am happy for you! Kevin

Well, I have the Trolltune gross weight increase STC so the take-off Useful is 1271# in the standard configuration. In the Cargo configuration (rear seats removed..read Oshkosh configuration) it is 1294#. I have weight and balance for both as well as excel spreadsheets for both. Of course the...

Hi Ryan, Your post is kind. I don’t plan on leaving the board. Although I have burned out a little I still love aviation and think I can contribute to the group. If nothing else I will continue to learn from your posts Thanks, Kevin

I have been at 4B8 for about 12 years and have seen a take-over if the airport by the town of Plainville, an extended and repaved runway. In the last 8 years, an approved GPS approach to Rwy 02, new repaved tiedowns (many more drive through spots) and a change of ownership at Interstate...

Sorry BU, this was not aimed at you. I agree with FRFLY172, this was supposed to be about the heroics of responders who deserve a pat on the back, not a semantics discussion . Thanks for the clarity. Kevin
