Butch recently did a pro engineer rendering of the hub
for FEA purposes that was so beautiful I thought I would share it
with you. We are getting ready to test this prop on the dyno.

Ed Anderson has also volunteered to flight test it on his
rotary powered RV6. Patience folks. It has been a long time
coming with a lot of contributions by several readers but I think it
will be worth it.

Left to right Butch and Bill Freeman the blade designer
at the Sun & Fun Rotary Engine Work Shop this year.

Yeah!  Looking foward to mounting it on the aircraft (after the dyno/torture
chamber test)

Ed Anderson

Test the hell out of it on the ground. I'd hate to be the one who gets up in the air and then had
regrets that something wasn't tested a little better on the ground. The rotary engine movement
doesn't need any setbacks.  That being said, I'm really glad that you guys are making this prop.
I'm pretty much counting on your success. I'm already salivating.
