Well, dumb thumbs are better than interference, or mechanical. Getting to know a new plane isn't always easy, and this thing is big. I'm sure it will look like new once the repairs are done. Go get a beer and cheer your success.

Okay!
Inquiring minds want to know: Increasing the pitch from 10 to 12 got the prop a little more bite. So, from the guys that witnessed flight #2, was there a significant change in airspeed?

Increasing the pitch increased, the thrust, It also increased the drag during landing so just a little more power will be needed to be carried when landing.

OK so just how many video cameras were there at the field and did anyone remember to turn them on cause I still haven't seen one video yet? Where they at?

The second flight landing news is a real bummer. Real happy to here that the damage was minor. Well if you can consider damage to a prop like that minor. That can not be a cheap prop. Can you just get blades for that prop, or do you need to purchase the complete assembly?

You guys did really good today. I really enjoyed following this story. Good luck with future flights.
