  Very nice work indeed. I think the head count will be influenced by not
only cost but the availability of blades. In the past its been suggested
that for the end product the user would have to fabricate his own blades.
I've done a fair amount of composite work in the past. But I dont think I'd
be comfortable flying prop blades I made myself. So if the prop is
available complete with blades count me in.

I agree with Mike completely.  I could never make an airworthy blade :-)  But otherwise I am in (cost and weight will also have to be improved over what I could get from MT.
