Rick Peter, GSC Systems International Ltd.
Last week I said that you really don't see one prop manufacturer's blades fit on another prop manufacturer's hub. Generally, that is true. But there is a definite exception to that rule. That exception is the in-flight adjustable hub built by GSC. That hub is designed and built to accommodate other manufacturers' blades like Warp Drive. Rick Peter, the owner of GSC, tells us how they work. GSC Systems (12/13/05)

Dan Bailey, Six Chuter, Inc.
Dan Bailey from Six Chuter is the first person I ever met in person from the Ultralight Industry.
