Does anyone with an RV4 have a hartzell spinner with a 360 engine and
hartzell CS 2 bladed prop? I am looking for the part number so that I can
order the spinner. Please respond off-list.

Way to go "Smoky" ! Talk about envy... 28,000 lbs. of Thrust is
certainly on my Wish List.
Hey, I guess your plans to fly out west got postponed. I hope you don't
get called up for another tour of Baghdad (I'll gladly sit-in for you, just
say the word Bro' and I'm there). I got my hanger up, trenched 1300' and
laid water lines, even got a real working toilet No Shitter, I "invented" a
complete solar electrical system to run lights, stereo, and all my power
tools (except the welder), but have yet to get my 4 back into the air. I
did taxi tests, but have some minor mods that will take some time. My Chief
got his A** terminated (forced resignation) for having a Secretary affair so
all He//'s broken loose at my agency. But I should have my bird in the air
soon. Stop by if & when you can.

Greetings Fellas,
Don't know many of you but, 34,000 lbs of thrust (not horsepower, F-16 guy)
ain't jack! Try 30,200lbs of thrust .... per side, Baby. That's right! ....
Former Tomcat guy just chiming in.
Fly safe, all,

Not very realistic for an airplane at 42 pounds per horsepower.
I didn't even want to figure out the propeller diameter for 102 RPM.
