REFLECTOR:RE:Catto Props

[Alex Balic]

I have seen a picture of a long EZ (or was it a cozy?) anyway- it was
modified for RG- and the mains either did not come down, or did not lock,
but the plane ended up traveling down the runway on the ends of 2 of the 3
blades of the Catto- I was impressed by that- I have one of Craig's props
for ground testing of my XLRG and possibly prelim flight testing- he loaned
it to me for a $600 deposit, which he will return if I get it back to him in
unscathed- try to get that deal from MT.......

There's a Long-EZ that shed the LOWER COWL through a Catto prop.  Flew
the guy home with no further incident.
All hail Catto!! ... Jim S.

Any idea if the CATO prop could eat a 4' x 6' rubber-backed rug??
