Hi Dale !
That looks a lot better !! :-)
Hope you can write to the list now. I've forwarded this,
in the hope that someone out there might have used a Prince prop
and can comment !
Don't know anyone with a Prince, but from what you said,
the plain wood one isn't much more expensive than the Sensenich
wood prop, and has more going for it. I like your idea of trying
the plain one first, and coating it later, if it works OK -
that way you're not risking much, and it just might be a lot better !
Not surprised to hear the Vortex Generators didn't help
with the Rebel - that certainly was <my> experience with them !
They not only didn't help the climb, but they ruined the
lateral stability !!! I think it's <possible> that <some> VG's
<might> help <IF> they were designed and tested and positioned
correctly exactly for the Rebel airfoil - just haven't seen that.
The Fife Hoerner wing tips and the McKenzie STOL kit are
both tested and proven ways to improve performance on the Rebel,
so those would be possible things to try. I joined the crowd
and installed the Fife wing tips last summer, and have a McKenzie
STOL kit ready to install as soon as the weather gets a bit better !!

Thanks again. I did what you suggested and I think everything is working
now.
What do you think of the Prince versun Sensenich prop?
The past owner of 295RT said the VC's didn"t help at all.

Hi Dale !
Sorry for the delay - we were in Toronto all day for a
directors meeting (I'm on several boards ...).
I've cleaned up & forwarded your message. Sorry to report
that the problem <IS> on your end !! Are you by chance running
WinDoze XP ??? By default, Micro$haft have their email programs
set up to use HTML format (that's all the gobbledegook junk you
see below !). More and more services are choosing to strip it
out, if people don't turn it off - it just wastes bandwidth and
makes messages hard to read ! (Guess this makes more money for
MSN !! ;-^) :-) )
Anyway, because DCSOL strips out HTML, and your email
program doesn't also include TEXT (which really surprises me -
never seen THAT configuration !) - ALL of your message is removed,
and it comes up BLANK !!
The solution (and everybody you email will thank you !),
is to find the setting in the email program that says -
send HTML or TEXT, and choose TEXT ONLY .... That will solve the
problem ! (Might be under 'Properties' - I don't do WinDoze,
prefer Linux !)
Good luck !

<P>Bob,</P>
<P>The earthlink people are telling me the reason my messages are not
going
through to the rebel group is because of a problem at the murphy-rebel
end. Would you post the following message for me?</P>
<P> </P>
<P>Rebel people,</P>
<P>I am the new owner of Rebel 295RT and have removed the Warp 4 blade
prop
which has two cracked blades. I am thinking of using a Prince prop
which is lighter than a metal prop and also has the feature of changing
pitch. Also, my plane has vertex generators on the wings. I
have
heard good and bad reports on the VG's. I would like to hear
comments
from anyone who knows about the prop and the VG's.</P>
