Interesting propeller. Can that thing thrash the air with enough authority to get airborne?

At first I thought that was a propellor, too. But I’m guessing that is a heat shield to prevent the engine exhaust from catching the doped fabric/canvas on fire.

I think that’s the heat shield, to keep the exhaust from setting the fabric alight...

Don’t see a prop. That tail wheel is looking quite robust.
