Hi Gang;

I'm both pleased and relieved to announce that FINALLY
the LAEV is most definitely soup!!!
We set out armed with ten (10) base Design Goals and we
managed to stay focused in that direction. These were:

This is great!  Now; what the world needs is a three-blade LAEV good to
250-300 hp.  MT and IVO are the only choices - MT is too expensive and too
heavy, IVO is . . ., well; we already know, it's an IVO.

It will be awhile Al. We need to test the heck out of this design
first. In the mean time you could always try wider blades. Unless
of course two blade props don't work at all on canard
pushers.

BTW Al if you build the wide blades we will test them on our prop
dyno at high RPM low pitch and low RPM high pitch. HP limited of
course. If you want to test at 350 HP you will have to send us
your engine and motor mount.
