  You might check with Continental about whether your engine could be used 
with reverse thrust. Velocity uses a 310 hp TSIO-550C in the XL but there 
could be some difference in design between engine models- I'd ask. That 
being said, reverse thrust sounds very interesting. I'd be concerned about 
the erosion that Jeff Liegner mentioned. During winter we have a lot of sand 
in use and it takes a toll on aluminum props. I'm not sure that composite 
would last very long, even without reverse thrust. Would Hartzell have 
anything suitable in a beta prop?    -Bill Wade  IV-P (building)
