No prop strike. I purchased the?O-540 out of the airplane. I spoke with "Zaidria" (ebay name) and he said for around $7000.00 he would sell the prop seperately. I am just throwing this out there as I will be going with a 2 blade prop.

This is what I have on my 8A. It allows you to attach a valve extension through a small door in the wheel pant. I put a spring loaded door (ACS catalog item) on the wheel pants and carry in the plane an extension made from four Wal-Mart valve stem extensions screwed together.
