    Hi Trent,

    How are you these days. Really like to see your AK photos here and on Facebook. I should make it up there sometime but seems hard to get away. The view from your desk is much better than mine!

    Cheers,
    Mike

  • TangoFox created a new forum topic Leading Edge Coatings???
    I know about the leading edge tape "Propguard". But has anyone tried to paint the leading edge with some kind of flexible coating for abrasion? Beach sand raises hell with propellers!
