| LASTWOODSMAN | Dumas Kit #222, Fokker EIII | Parked | 27-Feb-17 10:44 |  | | Views : 746 | | I decided to make pilots for all of my WW1 models for their empty open cockpits. I carved out a balsa plank base for inserting flat into the 4th pilot from the left, after first sanding the bottom of the pilot flat and even on a flat sheet of sandpaper. |

Just click on each prop. From the Bahnson Propeller Collection. |
| LASTWOODSMAN | Dumas Kit #222, Fokker EIII | Parked | 22-Feb-17 18:50 |  | | Views : 451 | | Pic of my new unstained, soft balsa "Helice Eclair" one piece wood prop, final sanded (or so I thought), to 400 grti, with my Spad 7 plane in behind, with its "Chauviere Integrale" prop, for comparison, I took a lot of measurements with calipers and a mm rule, to try to get equal blade shapes and thicknesses on the prop while sanding. The prop shape is STILL WAY OFF!!!!... The "Helice Eclair" is 3rd from the bottom in this photo of the 1st page of "FRENCH BUILT" props, and the "Chauviere Integrale" prop is 6th from the bottom.
