You're just putting all those photos up one at a time so you can garner the title, "The Khadafi of the WIX forum!"

So did only one prop strike?

No, two that I saw did. The oppsite blades. Before they put it in the hanger you could see that it was broke. I don't know if someone helped it or not.

Sometime I have to get a site at Webshots, I have a good picture of it as they where putting it in the hanger showing both blades in question.

You could see nicks and small gouges where those other props either hit the ground or hit flying dirt or stones.

All four will have to be replaced.

It is based out of the Ottawa airport, formerly known as Uplands.

Does anyone have an update regarding the status of SL721. How is the engine inspection going? Any news on replacement blades?
