Hi Guys;
 A team has been formed to develop the "Lamar Affordable
Experimental Variable prop" (LAEV prop), they are:
             - Bill Freeman
             - Butch Diaz Sr.
             - Paul Lamar
             - Perry Mick

BILL: He has already done at least 50 iterations of the
airfoils of the blades. At least 50 more to go :-) I
guess or until Paul stops him :-)

Me: Let's just say that I'm known for getting things
done........When I sit on the "Po-tty" I get right to
business :-)

PAUL: Well.....we all definitely know what he does well,
don't we? :-)

PERRY: Obviously........His magnificent ship speaks for
itself.

And of course all of YOU, that without your constructive
contributions/criticism there would be nothing to launch.

So....."Hang in there", this is going to move FAST.

                                          Butch

I want to also thank John Moran for all his help so far. John made several
prototype parts which we will use. 

If you can make your own carbon composite blades
this is going to be a breakthrough in simple variable pitch props and it should 
be reasonable in price. I have some ideas on testing it with a stand that
rocks back and fourth as the prop is run at cruise RPM simulating the gyroscopic 
loads a prop experiences in mild aerobatics and turbulence. It will be extensively
tested before flight.
