Thanks Peter. Enjoy Oshkosh. by the way, if you're planning on shipping anything home, let me know and I'll share the shipping cost. Thanks to a prop strike last weekend, I have to order some parts from Sonex ☹️

Roger!! what happened?

Roger!! what happened?

Aborted a takeoff and heavy braking caused the tail to rise a bit too high. Ended up with 20mm missing from the tips of my Sensenich. D'oh!

Still, grateful it wasn't much worse...Nothing time and money can't fix.
