Normally a wet coat, unless, the prop is not very out of balance.

Yes Mike that is one of the props that hs been on the Yak. Just not the prop that was on it New Years day. I have gone through a total of 4 now.

What color do you like best? I have kids that are scared of prop. On second thought..I"M scared of prop. lol (Saw first-hand what a 3-blade prop, AT IDLE, does to a hand! ...not mine. He bled like a sive and it scared me to death...well not to DEATH...but close. But that's another thread! All replies are greatly appreciated! (Wasn't sure what forum to put this in but I guess the newbees would probably like to know the answer to this question, too.)

OK,...back to the original questions...

Mainly need to get stiffer landing gear. I have lost two just due to the gear spreading on a less than perfect landing.
