    I got a quote of 40 dollars ups ground to ship it to you. Are you still interested?
    Personally I think you may be better off making one because there is about 8 dollars material to make one and odds are your spar pins and mine are not the same. But you just let me know. Thanks TJay

    I hope he doesn't give it up yet. I would imagine he is to far invested to let it go.
    I contacted him and his partner 3 years ago trying to buy the rights to the avid magnum. They called me back with a price tag of over $200,000 I said I'll Pass. 
    So there is a chance they may be that deep into it too.

    If your not in a hurry there worth the wait Very smooth propeller.  My first one the wait was only 1 month but my second was right when covid hit it was several months. My first one was flawless but my new one has a few blemishes in the carbon drives me crazy every time I walk by it of try to clean it but there affordable propellers so that's how it is. I still love it every time I fire wall the throttle.
    I have also heard good things about the power fin and the 912 Might be worth looking into. I owned one a few years ago it was also a beautiful propeller.

    One call to the factory and I'm sure you could have an engine mount.  Also AK Experimental Fabrication use to build them as well might want to ask him.

    Very nice project Have you thought about the ribblet airfoil that kitfox uses? That would make an awesome plane unless your going for extreme STOL.
