What is your climb performance like with the cruise prop?

I do know that @eman1200 was once given care and custody of a clean and sober monkey and afterwards he had to be checked into rehab. Does that count as a scam? Bait and switch maybe? :D

That is sad but a nice gesture on the part of the group
