Hi Paul/Guys;

The LAEV Project is almost "soup"...........with the
exception of the SHELL (Housing), which is 90% complete.
The hold-up is due to a hold on the Prop Flange
electrical contact assy...."THAT'S ALL!!"

    Will this new prop also be enough for the 20B, and does anyone have a

price estimate yet?

Robin

I would want to test it on a test stand with a 20B so that is not
this year for sure. If it works out for the 13B and Tracy is willing
to test a 20B on his test stand while he is building his new airplane
that would be a remote possibility. If you care to build a test
stand according to our sketches that might speed up the process.

You will also have to build your own blades. I think Bill will help with
the design of the blades for a 20B. It will be a two blade for the
foreseeable future.

Paul & Robin,
  What HP and RPM do you expect for the 20B??   I need TO/Climb
values (max continuous RPM and HP) and cruise (~75" HP).  I suspect
that an increased chord will deal with it, and I have run a LOT of
versions.

     Butch -

 I have the max/min angles for the prop blades, calculated them
a few weeks ago but is has been so hectic (storm downed trees to cut up
and haul away, getting the EZ and ME ready for OSH, etc, etc) that I
haven't gotten them from my laptop to this computer.   Sorry.  I assume
that this is still not the critical path, *please* complain when it is
soon-to-be
the critical item.  I assume that Perry is the one that will need the info.
