Oh ain't that the truth bro. Nothing like the smell of fresh cut or sanded wood. Makes me "kinda" miss the old days of all those Top Flite, Midwest and Goldberg kits. Umm....KINDA miss them!! LOL

Kinda explains why the performance from one prop to the next varies slightly.

I was thinking the same thing the first time I saw that video...even though they check the pitch thickness it doesn't appear to be that precision or consistent thus no two props are exactly the same..

I wander why they couldn't just turn the props over and use the cnc on the leading edge just as they have done on the trailing one?
