Well, considering we have sent in the paperwork to convert our provisional to a full patent we will be the ones to bring this to the full scale industry. Starting in rc means much lower startup costs.

I imagine at some point china will copy it but we have the patent so we can prevent them from selling them here and will be working on moving into other countries as well. Also, considering the stresses invovled they may not have the ability to copy the construction methods necessary for this design so that may prevent copies.

Also, there will be more info to come. I have just handed some props to go to a couple of guys for some side by side comparison type testing so that will be in the future. I, unfortunately will not be at the nall as there is too much to do getting things started.

I think this guy got one of the early beta versions. You can see it in the beginning of the video. I also think he put it on backwards

That is just a regular prop with the video effect making it look like that.

That's the results of using a crappy phone in video mode.

Use a better camcorder, and you don't see that effect.

Change "spotters" to snipers, and I'll agree with ya.

Wow,, B E A U T I F U L.....

G$

I'm gonna need one for my DA 50..

I am the "partner" with the new prop. I kind of handle the business end of things... So just to address a couple of the questions
1. video - yes it is coming, we don't want to post some poor cell phone quality video, but rest assured we will provide video shortly
2. How soon available to buy- 1st shipment should hit around early may, but that is not 100% solid
3. How soon will their be other sizes- hopefully pretty quickly, since this is "self-funded" and for personal reasons we are not pursuing the VC route or investors, so obviously we don't have unlimited captial
4. What about full size aircraft - well before we even came close to releasing this information we hired a very thorough patent lawyer (he wasn't cheap!!) and we have already secured a patent pending (almost a year ago) and we are in the process of being awarded the full patent and it covers every size, material, etc.... so we do plan to take that route at some point
5. I don't believe you prop does what it claims - Fair enough nothing wrong with being skeptical, the thing we are so excited about is the fact that the more time people spend with it the more impressed they are. We are going to encourage users to submit pics and videos to the website so you can see other peoples impressions. We are so confident that if you meet us at a trade show (or something similar) we will let you do a test flight for free!

hope this helps and feel free to ask any other questions

not only we will have data but we will have video showing the comparison... just bear with us since we both work fulltime!! there are only some many hours in a day!!

I am patient. It is hard to wait though.
