Regarding aero composites for Velocity.
I talked to the rep from Aero Composites at the AOPA Show.  They may be 
offering the prop soon but not yet.  He said the main reason is the $90K it would 
cost to purchase all the forms and set up to make the props.  So it may be a 
little early without a firm commitment. One way to accelerate process would be 
to let velocity know what the market would be.  Aero composites will not make a 
prop that is affordable without a market.  In the mean while the MT prop 
works fine.
