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)

Subject: [LML] reversing MT
Lancair says they have sold a couple of reversing MT props to Legacies. I'm
thinking about installing one on a IVP and would appreciate any comments.
Thanks
