 How's things going on the LAEV prop? Looks like I'll be able to finish
 my plane up this coming year.

 Brian Trubee

OK Brian thanks but I will need a rig to test it. Got anything along those
lines?

I am currently focused on getting the dyno and the test engine running.

Don't know about the prop. Butch still has it. God know where he is.
I have not heard from him for awhile. I think he works for the CIA or NSA :)
He is not allowed to say. I hope he is still alive.

I need a prop to test the dyno. Or I am going to make or buy a ground
adjustable prop.

BTW Ken got any junk Warp Drive un air worthy blades I can have
for the dyno?

Paul Lamar

   No they got burned down to nothing but fibers.

   Ken
    I just dug my old blades out of the snow and found that they are
delaminated but I think that they could be wet out and glued back
together and then lam some glass over the top and they should work
for a test blade.
  I also have a 4 blade hub and set of blade blocks you could use.

   Ken

That sounds great Ken. A catastrophic failure on the dyno is no where
near as bad as in the air :)
