Also - the fiberglass is really thin - a good thing for light weight, a bad thing for longevity. My cowl and pants fell apart and BME carries no spares of any kind (nice eh?).
I was in contact with Max and he said he is expecting to carry spares fairly soon. I hope so, cause he promised me a new set of wheel pants as mine were slightly crushed in shipping.

Mine completely disintegrated after 50 flights.... conveniently taking my $80 CF mezjlik spinner with it. I now have retired the plane because BME won't take a cowl off a new kit and supposedly spares are months away.
What size prop was that? I would be calling Gene at [link=http://www.troybuiltmodels.com]Troy Built Models[/link] and see what he has in stock. My 22x10 was $46. When I called him a couple weeks back, he had six in stock.
