| Mike Calistoga, CA | Have a "new" old stock DH4 prop for sale. P/N: 4-P-680-R. Hub shows no signs of ever being mounted, no bolt/nut/washer marks and bolt holes appear unscratched.
"new" as new can be after sitting around unused 80 plus years. Been in my possion for about 16 - 17 years, always hung horizontal by hub and rotated occaisionally. Detailed pics available. 09/23/2010 @ 22:56 [ref: 30341] |
| John Howard St louis, MO | The DH-4 that Don mentioned has been fully restored and is now flying and I believe is the only flying DH-4 in the world. It has been to Oshkosh in 2007 and Bartlesville, OK and can be seen at the Historic Aircraft Restoration Museum at Creve Coeur Airport near St. Louis, MO 11/23/2008 @ 20:10 [ref: 23131] |
