hi Paul, been waiting for this prop for how long now?  however i am
confused, this is the first picture i have seen of the pitch
actuator.  i am
trying to understand how the solid T that is pinned to the blade
hub pin can
change the pitch without binding up. it would need to be hinged
or have
slotted holes in it.  or is the pic missleading.  thanks wyo walt.

-----------------------------------------------
It has slotted holes in it. They don't have to be very long as it
does
not take much to change the pitch 20 degrees. 20 degrees is a lot
of pitch
change.

Paul, Perry and Butch,

Very very impressive design. Nicely compact in hub to center of prop
axis as
well.  Do you have drawings to share? I would like to make up a
three blade
hub and of course a three prong pitch change yoke.

I'll have to check with Butch on that.
A three blade is doable.

Hey Dave,

Welcome back.  I followed and enjoyed your blog while you were stationed in
Iraq.  We also sent you a care package of cookies and coffee but it was
returned to us.  I guess the Japanese postal markings looked suspicious.
Anyway glad you are safe.

A three blade for your RV. Hmmmm....  Wouldn't a two blade C/S be more than
adequate?

BTW guys here are some of Butch's nice 3D's on the prop hub.
