Mark,
When you made your prop choice, was hydraulic even an option with the 20-B setup? If it was why did you choose the electric? I keep looking at the Vesta, the veriProp, the whirlwind, and MT. Part of what I'm looking for is the WWII look also. Otherwise I would probably go with the Ivo Prop. Any feed back on these props by anyone would be appreciated.
