As someone who moved numerous times.....always remove gear/props/cowls when moving. On some planes I even remove mufflers.

Noted!

I will have to find my pictures from my old thread on that site that shall not be named but I had documented where I had polished the spinner for my cap232. I made an adapter to hold the spinner in a metal lathe. Spin it up to speed and slowly start working it down with finer and finer sand paper. Be sure once you get up to around 400 grit to start using water. I think my final grit I used. Was 1500 grit and then I hit it with polishing compound.

To go along with the repairs of the mojo. Stripped the rudder swervo in the dork. Had another hitec swervo that had a messed up POT pulled the gears out of it and put them in the other and look a new swervo. Only down side is that the gears I put in it are helicut gears so it's a lot louder than before.

Finished framing up these this morning before work. They are patiently awaiting some color which should start happening tomorrow morning.

Finally starting to get my new shop in some order, although still have more boxes to go through. Bought a very nice Grizzly mill/drill from my cousin...so now I can butcher metal as well as wood . And yes, that's the Krill sitting up on the shelf awaiting paint .

Covering starting to go down. Kinda stole @Terryscustom Viper scheme. Using a different color and changing things a little bit but pretty much the same.
