I would say that will have to happen on the next prop. I'm not going to wait another three months for my propeller. As soon as I get some decent weather, I'm going to take the plane out of the hanger and see if the ole engine will start. If everything checks out, I'm going to button it up and call may FAA inspector.

These are options available directly from Sensinich. Normally you would order when purchasing prop. Since your FWF kit came with this prop "included" your were probably not aware of these options. If the prop was ordered directly from Sensinich you would have had the option of ordering them. Sensinich will take your prop back and install these options for you.

The 68" dia. wood prop will give decent STOL performance with the Jabiru 3300 engine. I have used a wood Tennessee prop of floats for nine years. Consider getting the Urethene leading and optional fibreglass coating to "toughen up" the prop for off-field work. When they coat the prop with fibreglass they paint it to look like an aluminium prop. Not as pretty but a lot tougher on grass hoppers, stones, water spray and other debris that off-field flying introduces to the prop.
