Greetings Paul & All,
      A couple of questions on v/p -- c/s prop project.

Do you percieve any problems for a pusher configuration?
How do you / (do you?) envision a group buy?
  ie) Will someone make up a batch of prop blades, or will we have to
make up our own?
        same for hub etc. ?
It may be that my questions are a bit previous but I am following that
project with interest.
Do you need some (not too many :-) ) dollars towards developement
materials costs?
Cheers,
            Harry S

Prop blades you will have to make your own. Too premature on the hub
when John Moran gets it done we need to test it first. Perry has enough
donated money to to do the blades. John my need some money to do more of the
hub. John? 

The shanks are done. John told me he did not like the cheap, 
off the shelf electrical conduit coupling idea and he was making 
up a couple of precision couplings for Perry to bond into the prototype 
blades. Perry and Bill have decided on a design for the blades. That is 
the status of the project as I understand it up to this moment.
