I tell you what, Paul,  I would be willing to take off my prop and install
it for some test run ups.  Then assuming all looked well to everyone
involved (with me retaining veto rights {:>)) I could take it for a gentle
flight to keep gyroscopic loads to a minimum.   And yes, I'd sign a release.

Sounds good Ed. Keep the aerobatics down until we get a chance to
do the torture test. What do you think Butch and Perry?
With the variable pitch installed we can run it up on the ground to
6000 or more engine RPM.

I forgot to mention in my previous email that the prop will need to be
static balanced first.  Butch could take it to a prop shop and work with
them to have that done. Butch and I discussed a method of accomplishing
that.
