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.

Last pic of what the EIII will sort of look like, after I finish the prop, stain it, clear coat it, put a hub on it, and paint up the pilot some more. |

| The new prop ( and Guenther the pilot) will finish it off just fine. Nice work.

One coat of paint on the pilot, the old prop is now rough carved into a "Helice Eclair" prop, and the old 6" grey Peck plastic prop and nose assembly. |

Backside view of pilot halves overlapping - used 5 min Epoxy for the inside, snipped off the toothpics, sanded, body filler, then sanded. |

1:20 scale pilot halves CA'd together with toothpics through the 1/8" overlap. Holes drilled with a #59 0.0410 bit first. |

This 17 1/2" EIII has been without a pilot and without a carved balsa prop for 3 years. |
