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 don't think I'd

be comfortable flying prop blades I made myself. So

if the prop is

available complete with blades count me in.

Hi Mike;

My original sentiments exactly!!! .......So don't worry,
after Perry finishes the Prototype blades he'll have a
practical idea of what's involved and we will be
discussing the production of them. Like I've been saying
all along, "I doubt very much that I would market the
LAEV without blades. I'm planning on providing a
complete package sans Spinner".

So hang in there, it gets better.
