Butch is working on it hard Mike. Perry is waiting for machined blade shanks.
Bill's blade design is done. We have settled on a pitch change motor.
We will need to ground test it first. We will need a volunteer with a test
stand. How close are you to first flight?

  How close to first flight? There's a loaded question. Still got lots of
odds and ends to tidy up and a couple of fairly large expenditures are
still ahead. Hope to start the engine for the first time probably
mid-summer with first flight some time toward end of the year.

Given Butch's excellent track record on the wiggins couplings and Perry's
building props  we could have a prototype tested by that time.
