Has the new LAEV prop flown yet?

Not yet but the committee has finished 99.9% of the
design.
It will be severely tested on a rocking stand to
introduce
severe gyro and turbulence loads before it is flown.

And........
100% of the components have been purchased / received.
As it stands now machining IS 75% FINNISHED. There's no
foreseeable reason why it shouldn't be running on the
test stand this Fall.

We don't know yet John. I would not attempt to nail Butch down on the

For one thing it is up to you to build the carbon composite blades.
