Would this be a good time to point out that pretty much everybody

 flying a rotary now & in the near future is/will be using a fixed pitch
prop?
;-)

Charlie, hope this doesn't amount to piling on when everybody
starts chiming in. You have ignored the electric prop, like the one
Paul, Butch, Perry et al have been working on. MT sells suitable
props now, however overpriced they may be. They work fine
and are even certified. Bill Jepson

"NOT IF I CAN HELP IT"!!!!!!!!Charlie.......I'm trying very, very hard and I'll
keep on trying harder to provide an affordable, safe and legitimate 200HP + Hub
that will eventually pay for itself just in Maintenance and Fuel economy
savings alone.....I usually have a pretty good nose for these things, and don't
waste my time on non worthwhile things.
So..."Au'contraire' mon amie"....I prognosticate a lot of LAEV's will be in the
air very, very soon since the majority of the work has been done.

I'll even go one better, I'm going to force these high priced "F--K--S" in the
prop business, to come up with an affordable experimental HP-HP matched
competitor :)

HOO_YAH! Good attitude!
