No, but in case folks aren't aware it's my understanding that Vesta is now
out of buiness, at least partially because their propeller was implicated
in the [LINK:

Does anyone know if Dave Dent ever had any success   with the Vesta prop he
bought a few years ago?
It would be nice to get an update on   that.

Thank you everyone for your support and input while we picked our    prop.
It was a close race, but we chose the Aero-composite.  I have    attached
my spreadsheet analysis but I have to admit - as with all things
"airplane" there is a lot that is just in your heart.  None of us "need"
and airplane - but we love them.  So I tried to be impartial but in the
end we got the one we wanted.  And maybe that points out the beauty of
building your own plane - you get the one YOU want!  Love you guys and
thank you again.

PS - I thought some folks might be interested in our    quotes so they are
in there too!

Sincerely,
Elizabeth Ferrell
