I think all is working again now. Please leave a comment on a photo somewhere if something you need is not working still.

More sanding tomorrow as the stain reveals scratches and flaws. Then the blades need metal on their leading edges.

Ogre airscrew take two. The blanks that I first cut were not wide enough to shape the airscrew properly. I had hoped to make two, almost identical, two bladed airscrews, and them joint them into a four bladed unit. Shaping the complex curves on two individual propellers greatly “confuzeled “ my brain. The neurons fired but the synaptic connections repeatedly reversed the thought pattern. Right becoming left, top becoming bottom. This short circuit was magnified by the clockwise airscrew rotation. Up until Ogre all of my Props have been anticlockwise in rotation. I wonder what would happen if I drove my lorry in England? Disaster, I am sure!

The glued and assembled four bladed airscrew awaits tomorrow’s shaping. In this form my thought process should be a bit more direct and clear. What is done to one blade is repeated on the others. Coloring the upper surface with a marker, prior to shaping, should produce a sanding pattern pointing to symmetry. Repeated coloring and shaping hopefully yield the desired result. “Lettuce” see if this works. To be near scale, the airscrew blades need to be 12 inches in length.
