Small world, but FastEddie says he still would not want to paint it! :) We bought a ceiling fan at Lincolnton today that looks like an airplane propeller!

Jess,

Welcome from North Carolina and congrats on flying again. I'm new here, too! Purchased the Vagabond that I will be flying under Sport Pilot rules. There's many knowledgeable folks here that can answer questions.
