Eggenfellner has a new four

blade prop with "Quinti" hub,"Sensenich" hollow composite blades and

"Newsted" electronic controller that he hopes to have at 'Sun-N-Fun..........

 

   These are all electric props that can be flown as either inflight adjust or in

constant speed mode.........A lot of development is going on with props

for the alternate engine crowd.......

 

   A prop company called "Grand Aero" will also be at "Sun-N-Fun"........

They are developing a three blade electric prop that will use the so called

"ELLIPSE" blades designed by Paul Lipps and reported in several articles

in the past year

At some point in the future I expect to be looking for a variable pitch prop to replace to Catto on my Velocity 20B.  So I look forward to hearing feedback from guys going to Sun ‘N Fun on what may be coming for the 250hp+ group.  Oh, yeah; and it has to weigh less than 50# and cost less than $10,000.
