    Default Dean Hobart and R. Allen "Pop" Smith 1980

    Pop and I became very good friends. The last few years of his life, I traded three blade casting to him for finished props. You could buy "Ron Hill Props" or New "Pop Smith" props from me.

    He was magic with propellers.

    I never knew Dean was this young!

    R. Allen ‘Papa’ Smith was a true Southern Gentleman……. And the best propeller man of all time.
