Thanks, John. I'll post some pics when I make the blades, Brian, but yes.:-)

Slick approach to a difficult challenge.

thanks dd, do you laminate a couple pieces balsa to make the props shaft center then sand it round? i tried to understand the tutorial but i didn't comprehend it. do you have any threads about it? thanks again.

The shaft of the prop blade is round so it can be turned.

did you add the twist to the base of the prop or did you angle it in the spinner, david?

Holes were cut in the spinner with a common hole punch which is 3/16" diameter.

Making the spinner/prop

It ain't your Grandfather's Mustang! The rest of the fuselage needs to be covered before it can all be glued together. It's raining and forecast for more for a few days and that screws up doping. Oh well, there's the prop to make...

A little plug...

The addition was trimmed, filled, and sanded and then the fuselage was given two coats of dope and lightly sanded. The rear of the fuselage from the back of the cockpit to the tail was covered wet with one piece of silkspan per side.

I broke the center keel here, too, so i made it all from 3/32" wood.

The plan

Your colors would be nice. Thanks for the input.

I know I suggested the crazy scheme earlier, but if you're planning to use the yellow chequerboard markings I think a nice strong royal or navy blue would go well with them, especially with a lighter (white or yellow) underside. That's if you're making the scheme up yourself - if you're going for an existing scheme, my suggestion is kinda irrelevant.
