In thinking about a test bed/dyno/wind tunnel, It seems to me that the controllable pitch prop would be a good thing. It would provide a variable load and could be adjusted to provide the desired breeze. :)
 Last I heard, someone was going to test it. Any results?
 If the results look promising, I would be interested in having a second one made. Or taking a modified design and have it machined here.
 If I had it on a test bed/dyno/wind tunnel I could put a few hours on it.

Don't worry, we will get it tested soon.
It's just been too cold for me to get motivated to work on the test
stand engine in the hangar.
