Got the props done for both. Look how tiny the Curtiss prop is compared to the Hamilton Standard

Yup, a lot more surface area. I remember reading in Robert Johnsons book "Thunderbolt" how the paddle plane prop greatly improved performance.

They look great! Now how about some photos of both jugs at the same time... Jugs are always better in pairs...
