I'll send this to Butch PRIVATE email.

You need to modify your test stand so it rocks back
and fourth
at a 67 degree per second rate to adequately test a
prop for
gyro bending loads. This can be done by mounting the
test stand
on a trailer and moving the tongue up and down.

on this prop. we are going to need one for our lancair
es in 6months to a year.    thanks again   paul
