If you can wait awhile I think some of my friends are building a

electrical variable

pitch prop with carbon fiber blades at SZP. Our own project on this

seems to have stalled.

See the ACRE NL web site below for drawings and suggestions.
I will try my turbo Kis Cruiser with a fixed pitch prop first.

I guess the mechanical parts aren't available yet for the ACRE vpp?
I can build the blades at any time, was just waiting for Bill Freeman to
finalize the design, but could build the test blades without the special

airfoils.

I think John Moran is too busy building six pinion planet carriers for Tracy
to make the rest of the prop hub. I don't blame him. If you have an NC  shop
you have to keep your nose to the grind stone to make the payments on the
machine tools and pay other expenses.

I have the "final" if you can *ever* have a really final design
for the blades.   I haven't fooled with it in a while, will have
to look thru about 50+ iterations to relocate the best one, but
I think it will be pretty quick.  Want it?
