REFLECTOR: Props and exhaust.

[Mark Magee]

Hi Scott,
In the Long EZ community most of used 4" to 6" prop extensions. Probably not possible with a CS prop (is it?). Those few inches must've helped asany EZ drivers run 3 blades and have no prop coating probs.
Happy Thanksgiving

I replaced it with a Cato and the problem was solved.  Craig told me the glue he uses for the maple core is not effected by the heat, he also said the epoxy laminated over the maple core spread the heat out, which prevents a hot spot from forming.
