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.

OMG!  Those look great!  Any plans on making blades for pushers?  If
not, how difficult are the blades to make considering the builder has
completed a composite Airframe?  It sounds like the financial side has
been discussed a little, any guess on how much money I need to save for
one of these bad boys?  Some of us have to think way ahead <grin>

Waiting in anticipation (hell I may buy two, one to hang on the wall, a
thing of beauty for sure...)
