I have a Revmaster RD2100 on order(used) and after checking with Revmaster, they told me that particular one is not restricted to wooden props. I gave them the serial # and that was their response. Bob R - Original Message - From: "L D Mueller via KRnet" To: "KRnet" Cc: "L D Mueller"

In the pictures I posted , there a few of the inside of the fuselage on the one project. I assume the additional wood at the top above the sitka longerons is there to raise the turtle deck to accommodate the old style canopy. What I am wondering is if that wood is providing any structural streng
