REFLECTOR: Catto prop for 260hp and up.

[Andrew Ellzey]

Thanks Brett for removing the CS from the subject line. I did know that they 
were fixed pitch props, I guess I had CS props on my mind since I had just 
e-mailed Catto asking if they were going to produce a CS prop for our 
Velocities in the future. I agree with you assessment of trying one and 
being able to change to a CS latter. Like you were saying, I'm not ready to 
fly yet either, just looking at my options and wanted some feedback on 
anyone flying one of the Catto new style fixed pitch props.

Andy
