The Optimistic Pessimist
In the event that I start flying regularly (soon?)...the likelihood that I will break my propeller within the first year is statistically high. A carbon fiber replacement for the one that my unit came with is $500. I decided to get a wooden one for $250 to keep on hand for that statistical eventuality. While I'm at it - also got a replacement windsock ($25). Note to self: Put the new one out only when I am going to fly and it will last a lot longer. 92,98,74,0,B
