Default Identify a propeller from this picture.

Someone sent me a picture of this propeller today. It came off of a Kitfox with a 583 thats the only thing I know about it.

Can anyone identify its make from the picture ?

Anyone care to guess what size prop it is based on the information I have and how high it is leaning against the garage door in the back ground?

I wanted to see just how good you guys really are.

lol sorry I just remembered that I left the big door to the shop open were my plane is parked and the horses were around eating fallen apples this evening.

I ran out in the dark to shut it and wacked my shin on the loader bucket

Here is the picture.
Almost forgot to mention there will be a prize for the person who guesses the closest and a bonus prize if you can guess the pitch.
