Neat video of a prop change on a full scale P-51.
I found this video of a race crew changing out the prop on a Miss America P-51 Reno Racer and thought I'd share it.

They used the same hammer I do when resetting the connecting rod to piston, to remove the prop nut lock washer. "Hey, bubba, what's the torque setting for the spinner". Bubba "just whack it a little at a time while turning till it feels tight"

That was cool. Just like a prop swap on an .049.
I like the multi tool.

Nice video -- thanks for sharing. I was impressed with how critical torque specifications were during the replacement.

That was neat. Thank you. I also see that dckrsn made reference to the multi tool used, as my first thought was 'hey, an oversized Cox wrench!'.
