Chris-if you end up wanting to sell that prop that came with the 0-290, I would be interested to talk to you about it. I think my prop has a little too much pitch on it and Im looking to find a good cruise prop.

Where in Atlanta are you? I am headed to Stockbridge / Morrow next week & will be flying into Berryhill (4A0). If timing works right we can get you some stick time if you want.

I would love to if I'm not out on a trip. The plane is at Tara (4a7) which is right down the road fron b-hill. I used to fly out of there and have friends that have planes there. I live closer to there than my hangar but couldnt get customers to fly in there for maintenance. Let me know when you will be around I'd love to come look and get some ideas!
