    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.

Great Paul, but... what is LAEV..?? Yvon.

I think it stands for LAmar Electrical Variable.

I think Butch is fond of naming things after me. That way people will come
after me if they don't work and not him :-) 

It should be called the ACRE NL prop as several members on here had a hand in the
design and testing. Perry Mick will make the test blades and Bill Freeman did
the blade design. Butch took some of mine and Vance's ideas and ran with them 
to design and build the hub. Tracy Crook will help with the ground test stand 
testing.
