WOODEN PROPS

I purchased a 64 inch wooden prop from Hennie Malan yesterday after a lot of brainstorming due to cheap price and negative discussions on this forum.
I would like to use this opportunity to inform any prospective buyers that they can give Hennie a sporting chance.The workmanship is outstanding and it was quite clear to me that he does this for the love of his trade and not for money.
I flew with my new prop this morning and the performance is outstanding. :D :D :D

I must admit that my Malan Prop is also delivering the goods for me.

Did he do prop for the VW eng? I may need a new prop (longer with causer pitch) for the KR. Seems I am only one who wants to fly it, so best start getting things ready...
