| LASTWOODSMAN | Herr Engineering HRR 105, Fokker D-7 | Parked | 16-May-17 11:21 |  | | Views : 366 | | The piano wire in the top goes through the aluminum tube rear rubber motor peg in the fuse. The four bungie cords go to tent pegs and hold the stake solid into the ground while winding the rubber motor. |
| LASTWOODSMAN | Herr Engineering HRR 105, Fokker D-7 | Parked | 16-May-17 11:15 |  | | Views : 338 | | Home-made over-engineered WINDING STOOGE and 15:1 WINDER |
| LASTWOODSMAN | Herr Engineering HRR 105, Fokker D-7 | Parked | 13-May-17 21:12 |  | | Views : 368 | | Side View - and now to experiment to get the right color of stain, by practising on left over sawed off pieces of the prop block. "Cabernet Red" is so dark, that it does not even show the painted grain line layers. "Golden Oak" and "American Walnut" are best so far. I will try mixing a few drops of "Cabernet Red" in with "Natural" wood stain to try to get a light red color stain. |
| LASTWOODSMAN | Herr Engineering HRR 105, Fokker D-7 | Parked | 13-May-17 21:06 |  | | Views : 281 | | Rear View - now to design an ornamental, scale-like Prop Hub Mounting Plate worthy enough to adorn the front of this prop. The prop might be a tad bulky, but better thatn too thin - better to quit while I am ahead ... |
| LASTWOODSMAN | Herr Engineering HRR 105, Fokker D-7 | Parked | 13-May-17 21:02 |  | | Views : 373 | | VOILA !! - FINISHED !! after 5 more hours - Front View, of the 9 1/4" AXIAL Prop for the BMW 160 hp engine, "hand carved" (sanded and filed), and sanded to 320 grit, with 8 laminated layers of 1/16" balsa planks, with "Burnt Sienna" brown gloss and "Bronze" Metallick acrylic paint, painted alternately between the layers. |
| LASTWOODSMAN | Herr Engineering HRR 105, Fokker D-7 | Parked | 12-May-17 20:52 |  | | Views : 345 | | 5 MORE hours of slow, careful, meticulous filing and sanding and examination. The outer blade faces are sanded to an air foil shape form, with sharp leading and trailing edges. The blades have a slight "twist" in them from root to tip. |
