Don C | Dave Diels Engineering, Inc Plan #59, Curtiss C-46 Commando | Reference | 19-Feb-15 15:02 | | Views : 483 | David, this was the flock last September.

Don C | Dave Diels Engineering, Inc Plan #59, Curtiss C-46 Commando | Build | 15-Feb-15 11:35 | | Views : 489 | Brian, this is the progression on the props. Couldn't find wooden ones small enough. Total diameter is 5 1/8" There was more "clean up" after this shot and may be some more later. |
