LASTWOODSMAN Aero-Werkes DPCM 119 BE2e Parked 04-Apr-17 21:48 Views : 759 Anybody remember these ? LASTWOODSMAN Aero-Werkes DPCM 119 BE2e Parked 02-Apr-17 21:51 Views : 638 It was a good thing that I tested out all of this on a practise prop blade first. LASTWOODSMAN Aero-Werkes DPCM 119 BE2e Parked 02-Apr-17 21:46 Views : 615 I won the war, but a lot of blood was lost. It was quite agonizing trying to make perfect placement of the claddings. LASTWOODSMAN Aero-Werkes DPCM 119 BE2e Parked 02-Apr-17 21:43 Views : 494 I tried to keep out wrinkles on the faces of the blades, keep the overlaps on the blade edge only, and have the cladding bottoms lline up even with the cladding bottoms on the other side. LASTWOODSMAN Aero-Werkes DPCM 119 BE2e Parked 02-Apr-17 21:39 Views : 336 Finished prop all cladded up. The wrap arond edge strips were trimmed real close to the prop edge, leaving just enough to wrap the edge of the blade only - glued sparingly with 5 min Epoxy.

The green masking tape on the opposite blade is so that I don't accidentally break it off ... LASTWOODSMAN Aero-Werkes DPCM 119 BE2e Parked 02-Apr-17 21:30 Views : 277 This is the "peel n stick" black styrofoam I used to hold the blade steady in order to press the claddings onto the blade tips. LASTWOODSMAN Aero-Werkes DPCM 119 BE2e Parked 01-Apr-17 09:34 Views : 359 The cladding is glued to the prop and the white template paper is bent up so it does not glue. The two balsa strips used to pin down the prop, actually smeared and dented the one-week old Krylon clear finnish - I substituted some padding, for both sides of the prop, using some peel and stick balck styrofoam padding stuck to the pin down strips - that styrofoam padding is used for air conditioner draft seals. LASTWOODSMAN Aero-Werkes DPCM 119 BE2e Parked 01-Apr-17 09:26 Views : 345 The white template is masking taped to the prop, and I brushed on a thin layer of 5 min epoxy to the wood - the cladding really wanted to slip and move around out of posiiton on a practise blade, which is why I used a template to make sure it was in the right positon as the glue dried. LASTWOODSMAN Aero-Werkes DPCM 119 BE2e Parked 01-Apr-17 09:20 Views : 336 Brass coated coffee jar "freshness seals" (.001" thick) used for "S" shaped cladding cutouts that include extra cutout strips of "stretch out and wrap around edge strips". Template sheet for loating the cladding positions, one piece on each side of the prop. LASTWOODSMAN Aero-Werkes DPCM 119 BE2e Parked 31-Mar-17 11:44 Views : 344 I removed the old "half circle" claddings from the prop tips, sanded the prop down to 400 grit paper, and sprayed 3 coats of Krylon Clear Gloss acrylic rattle can paint onto the balsa.
