WOODEN PROPS

Postby Brian » Sat Jul 07, 2007 7:37 pm

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

Way to go Brian....

Pleased you are happy and the main issue is that it WORKS!

I have a P-PROP and these props are highly acclaimed in the US...
