We have about 300 hours on our Whirlwind prop---Nice people ! I have
a sneaky feeling that if enough genuine interest was shown--plus some
sales--that dirty ole money talks---he might get interested again in a
pusher prop !?<br>

I talked to Whirlwind a year ago and they said they were "thinking" about
"starting" to adapt it for pusher configuration..
I talked to Carter Copter a few months ago about their constant speed
composite prop design. They are very interested in having it developed for
the experimental market. I didn't go into the details with them other than
they would like to license the design to further its development and of
course put some cash into thier pockets. I would certainly be interested in
participating in a project like this. Anybody else interested in doing this?
