    Incredibly dumb prop question

    Here's the dumbest question that you will probably see all year.

    I just ordered this tempest plus and got her out of the box to notice that it says 22p on the side. I ordered a 25 pitch, like in the photo of the box. Box came stapled shut, appearing factory. What does the 22p mean? is this a 22 pitch that ended up in the wrong box? Or what?

    Thank you for your patience with my noob questions.

    I, like you, would certainly expect the 22P to mean pitch. Looks like the 22 got placed in a 25 box. Is there a 25 etched or stamped on the prop anywhere?

    Nope, here's the rest of the pictures.

    Prop is a 22 pitch not a 25. im sure they will accept that as a mistake and send you what ya ordered right away. haha that probably means theirs a 25 in a 22 box somewhere. haha
