Some of the sensors to be mounted under the wings and a FLIR for under the nose. |

thanks Don! Great video! |

OK. That took up the whole thing. It is a link to a video of a WWII pilot who painted nose art on B-24s. It was done by his son. I think you will enjoy it. |

Every picture I could find had the props feathered when parked. So - happy, happy , happy. |

That high school math we never use? 360 degrees 9n a circle divided by 5 props equals 72 degrees. Compass and protractor still work |

Thanks Ed. I thought about your 3D printer a few times when the fingers cramped. |

Don, hats off to you! Hand carving sinners and propeller blades is definitely not my favorite job. Going to look good on that model. |

Well I got the spinners done and started on the props. I worked from photos to get the correct size. Blades are from tongue depressors. They are much stronger than balsa, but harder to work. Got these 5 lovelies done and realized that the airfoil was backward. ***! Thought about contrarotating motors, but no. Did get one set done corrrectly. Tomorrow's another day. |

Thanks. I've been putting off the 5 bladed props. That's going to be interesting. |

Great looking plane Don! |

Thank you Don, enjoyed that video. I'm amazed by the detail of some of the people on this site (including yourself) but this guy is unbelievable. |

https://www.youtube.com/embed/HyuE1XnYO0I I just saw this and had to share it. If yo ever think that we are somewhat obsessed, take a look at this guy.

That's still pretty big! Thanks too. Got the rudder, tail wheel, landing lights and control surfaces done now. Guess I'll have to put the landing gear on so I can add the details on the bottom.
