The present LAEV-2 (Yes there is an LAEV-1, that's
bigger and heavier), is designed to compliment Bill
Freeman's blade pitch parameters of MIN 7deg-MAX 32deg,
this results in a net adjustable range of 25deg, (which
according to Bill is over-kill and could never be that
high since part of the blade will go negative well
before that point). This is externally adjustable and
locked by means of a 32 pitch thread (One turn =.03125in
travel / 1.375deg)

It would be very neat to actually allow a "Beta" position (Imagine backing up
into your spot!) but the downside might not be worth it.

BTW Blake what do you want to do with my motor plate?
Paul Lamar

Good question!

I have yet to plot the new points you sent back into the drawing and take a good
hard look at the current plate and make a judgment on where we go from here.

I think that I should have some time this weekend, but during the week it's right
out. Things are rather volatile at work since our project funds were cut and we are
scrambling so I'm worn out.

Tomorrow I'll print out the 500 DPI scan you sent on one of the large format lasers
and play with the quality to make it readable and then enter the points into
MasterCam.
