[John Abraham]

That's ok. They are slower, less efficient, and cost more anyway.

Speaking with the folks at Deltahawk, we learned that Aero Composites and Deltahawk have yet to conduct an installation survey to determine the compatibility of Aero Composite propellers on Deltahawk engines.  This led me to contact both companies to determine the best way to move forward with an installation survey.

I was informed that Aero Composites was in the process of redesigning their blade products, and that tractor blades (only) would initially be offered.  There are no immediate plans to make a pusher configuration using the new blade design.  I was surprised to learn that it is Aero Composites decision to discontinue production of the current blade models.  I confirmed with the company representative that this means Aero Compsites is no longer in the pusher propeller business, and that they do not have plans to offer new pusher blade models in the immediate future.  Velocity owners who have orders on the books with Aero Composites will receive the current model design.  For those who have not yet placed their order for an Aero Composite pusher propeller - it appears you are out of luck.
