REFLECTOR: Houston Area Velocity

[Alex Balic]

Not saying that that was the problem, and we should not speculate, but a
couple of years ago, I helped a velocity guy out who lost a blade from his
ground adjustable prop over middle Texas- I think Kevin knew him- can't
remember his name at the moment- but he lost the entire blade, and barely
got down.  He showed it to me, it was poorly designed- held in basically
with epoxy  and some pins that only weakened the root structure.  It was not
an Ivo- it was props inc or something like that.  Anyway, sad to loose the
Houston pilot whatever the cause...
