Hello all, Sorry if this has been previously covered or not, I hadn't seen it, so....

Preston's Pride has had the plexiglass sheet covering the nose cone taken off, and a full plexi nose cone installed. I don't know if this was the original, or from somewhere else. That was done sometime last year. However....

Now they have installed metal covers behind the props, blocking access to the front of the engines in the nacelle opening. I didn't get a good look at them, it was dark and I definitely have no pics at this time. I don't know if they are a plug style insert in the opening or if the wrap around the front of the nacelle itself. But it does look like it will keep the birds and the dust out! Next time I am over there, I will try to take pics.
