It ran about 200 hours on Vetterman's HRII and mine. I bought the prop an d spinner in 2002 when he switched to MT prop. Later I popped for the big bucks & bought Hartzell metal spinner via F-1 TeamRocket. Composite spinner shipped $500.

Thanks for all the info guys. I found this site-www.docthrock.com- it s hoes the F-1 evo tail. It has-2 doublers on the front VS spar and a doubl er on the front of the HS rear spar. it also has some angle doublers on the front HS spar. Funny it dose not have the extras "rib" skins stiffeners in it? I think i will use my -4 control surfaces as is.
