I was there when Scott Jones flew in with Joe Schiferl's Velocity N942XX.

Mazda 13B installation.

He had first tried an MT electric prop. The engine produced too much power
that it would over speed the prop.

He replaced it with a wooden three blade fixed pitch.

I have about 13 pics of the plane.  If you are interested, let me know and
I'll send them all to you.

The white wire by the prop extension was for the MT pitch control and is no
longer used.

The plane is for sale.  He was asking $135K

Best,

Andy
