Subject: Off Topic - R2000/DC4 Prop Blade

Is Larry the Reno Racer still on here?

I have it in my mind that he is/was involved with a Yak that runs at
Reno that is R2000 powered...  I am looking for someone that might
have (information on) a prop blade that would have fit an R2000
powered Navy DC4 (C54/R5D).

One of these planes crashed in 1960 in the mountains of southern
Spain.  All personnel from the aircraft were rescued by the town folk.
The town would like to set up a commemorative monument for the 50th
anniversary of the crash/rescue, and they are looking for a suitable
piece of hardware from a like airplane - to adorn the monument.
Through an odd chain of connections (my dad was an air-crew in the
squadron at the time of the crash, and maintains a website for the
squadron - http://www.vr-24.org), I am involved in looking for such a
piece.

Everyone has agreed that a prop blade would be really nice for this.
A whole propeller might be cool, but would be much more challenging to
deal with logistically.

It obviously needn't be airworthy.  Something in reasonably good
cosmetic condition would be best.

Any ideas?

Sorry for the off-topic..


Thanks and regards,

Matt-
