Hi Rafeek - been some time! After all those years owning the plane, I never had a video of it flying other than the maiden back in 2012.. So, as it happened I tried to start the new year with a flying session and a friend took this video - so here it is:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqne9y8mIVw I have to say that there was a strong crosswind coming from my back on the runway and was not able to perform admirably the "party trick" of this plane/pilot combination which is the one-wheel-touch-and-go...
(All the slanted touchdowns you see are intentional but don't look like that at all...)

Regarding your prop hub question, I have been considering it too. Decided that I would either have to machine one from scratch or just paint the spinner with a band of color same as that of the prop right at the sector of the prop blades cutouts, leaving only a small cone of polished metal visible at the front. From afar, this would surely look like the real thing I guess..
