Good point. I spoke to the Airmaster guys a few years ago and they told
me they spent a lot of time looking for the right blades. Warp were far

nobody else was cooperative. Sad, Arplast would have been ideal but the
chemistry didn't work so both Arplast and Airmaster lost out. Alain
Petit, the Arplast boss is a nice guy but his English isn't confident
and I don't suppose the NZ guys speak much French. What an opportunity
missed. Wish I had been in the right place a few years earlier!
Greetings team,
I have it on good authority from Airmaster as of this morning that they are
on schedule to release a new electrically adjustable hub at Oshkosh this year
that uses Sensenich hollow carbon blades. I will be installing this new
arrangement on N245E as soon as it becomes available.
