Yes the blades were made for tractor, reverse rotation.  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.

Hi Perry/Vance;

Perry, the Blades arrived safely and un-damaged........Will be assembling them
to the Hub today and will be sending pictures thru the ACRE NL.

Vance here's the .GIF Perry is refering to. Hope this answers your questions.
Please keep Bill in the loop, as he's obviously very interested in the project
in general.

     If there's anything else you need let me know, as I have complete records.

                                                  Thanks Guys,
                                                     Butch
