| One blade of the new 175-14-400 prop, fiberglassed and waiting to be trimmed |
In early and mid September, Geoff led a team that continued to make progress on the new propeller blades. We joined, glued, sanded, and then fiberglassed the prop blades. Now they just need to be finish sanded and painted, and they will be complete.
