    Charleston S.C. Recommendations

    Place to stay: Indigo Inn, quiet, just enough off the beaten path, within walking distance of everything on the peninsula….tell Ignatius at front desk that Dr B previously of Rock Hill recommended them - he’ll take good care of you. Room 205 if available. Places to eat: Hank’s for seafood, Husk...

    Is there a dive prop?

    Probably because you didn’t expound, this was generally ignored. The electrically controlled MT prop when set to high RPM does indeed act as a sort of speed brake - set at fine pitch adds resistance to airflow through prop rotating surface area.

    Thinking about the new Jeep Wagoneer (rant)

    Look at the MSRP, not the ADM. I’ve a Bronco on order with late 11/21 projected build date snd a dealer who promised no ADM. Folks with early Bronco reservations are bad ****ed off by the antics of some stealerships.
