I was wondering if anybody is still using a 3 blade warp drive prop with a corvair engine? Possibly John Martindale? I have a 58" with factory modified tips that I might try to sale in favor of a fixed pitch wooden prop for weight. I will be installing one of the 5th bearing setups that are

Hi Russ, I used Dan's skins on my KR2 some years ago and was fortunate in having met Dan at a gathering. I think I was the first to use them in the UK ,and had no problems except that the rib cut out markings didn't correspond somehow . I contacted Dan and he reassured me that my markings were
