Scouring the Eaglersnest forum for a suitable prop, Frank Johnson's name from Performance Propellers USA kept coming up as the go to guy. http://www.performancepropellersusa.com/
I will be flying behind the Hummel 45 hp 1/2 VW which Frank has fine tuned hand crafted props to suit. Mine will be 56" x 24" for a perfect balance between climb and cruise performance. It will have white painted tips and a clear coat which will show off the lovely maple layers. Leading edge protection will be added which is a polymer alloy plastic inset into the edge.
I love the outlook from Frank's workshop...the ideal workplace.
Here are some updated photos of my prop in the process of being made.
