Mark....that is a magnificent looking prop.  I first saw it at Sun-n-fun 
last April.  I was very impressed with it as well as the people who 
manufacture it.  I'm going to take another look at Oshkosh later this month. 
I am about ready to make the leap and buy it for a 370 HP 550.

I need a little shove to do this.  What convinced you?  I would also like to 
hear from other velocity owners with this prop.

Thanks..Brooke
XLRG-5 (a long way to go)
