Those are really good looking blades guys - good show!
Acouple of questions- What pitch setting is the twist
optimized for? and I presume it is set for clockwise
(reversed from most us engines) rotation. I am sure
you will keep us up to date on the testing, and I am
looking forward to the results - Vance J

Vance:

Yes the blades were made for tractor, reverse rotation. [2.17:1 GB] I have the
twist data at work, I'll send it on Monday. Bill Freeman came up with
the twist data, I have an older version of Excel here at home and can't
read the file. When I look at the data, it is obvious he depitched the
blade near the hub, standard practice on tractors I think because of the
cowl blockage behind the prop.  Maybe Paul or Butch can dig up this data
and put it on the list, I sent it to you Paul on 12-17-02 but I don't
have a copy of the message.

I think this is it.
