John M Oshust | 08-Apr-09 20:51 | Change in prop plan. I started a blank for a two bladed oak prop. An Al prop requires a trip to my friend's machine shop. I remembered that many 30's racers had a three bladed prop. I had a 3 bladed prop in the "Magic Box". The prop was left over from my Corsair. Tomorrow I will shape and shorten the fiberglass prop and the "O"ster will have power. It is Easter so a plastic egg will make an easy spinner. Easy solution, minimum work. |

John M Oshust | 09-Apr-09 08:34 | Very observant, just stuck it on to see if someone noticed. I await cans of peas from DD. Hoping I can modify one to fit my needs. |
jgood | 09-Apr-09 09:34 | John, I think the 3 blader makes it look late 40's, rather than early 30's. I liked the idea of the chromed two blader. Just my 2 pence. |
John M Oshust | 09-Apr-09 10:49 | James...I shall make both and then make a final choice. |
