4 blade prop

Using a half -lap joint. Brilliant idea. I made mine using a straight cut and round file. The harder part was marking and cutting the sprinner for four notches at the correct pitch as Guillows marks out for three. I used one of their cut outs for a stencil and like yourself a quartered wood template for lining up the remaining cuts. For my Zero I bought a 4 blade prop and shaped it to scale.

Neat idea, Paul, for a 4 bladed prop for small models. What glue do you use for the joint at the hub?

CA, super glue stuff. The white pieces are .010" styrene shims, to help tighten the fit of the hub. The hubs were milled on a Unimat lathe. I can't take credit for the method of manufacture, I got the idea from lennyz, on the Guillow discussion board.
