wow!! applying full power at that speed on t/o must have got a few chips on the old prop??

@DJbriaz Naw.. as long as the airplane has forward airflow you can giver, the Six is usually slightly nose high all the time. 90% of the prop wear is from ground idle or taxing slow with tail into the wind... that's all I fly off is gravel strips everyday. Keeping the airplane into wind while parking or taxiing is key.. but now and then you can really hear the tings when a rock is picked up. I don't think I ever had damage during the takeoff roll.
