Hi to everyone
New member here.
Just ordered our plans. Strange as it may sound already working on a
propeller design.
We have been looking at canard plans/kits for sometime and now are ready
to start some action.
We intend to build our own variable pitch reversable 3 bladed prop.
We will use an auto conversion engine with a redrive. The prop will be
manually controlled, based on a design that we worked on in the
military.  It is a 3 bladed design by Hamilton Standard, and paired to a
AirResearch turboprop engine.The blade pitch is adjusted from the
cockpit with a power lever, since the turbine runs at a constant speed
the power lever sets the prop pitch thus the power.
Our prop will be a laminated maple and glass composite with a chromoly
shaft in the blades, retained in the hub with a nut and a bearing. The
shaft will have a cam and a yoke to change the pitch. Similiar to the
way the IVO  prop works except blade twist instead of wing warp.

Got any drawings or pictures on this Royce?
