| BriandKilby | 10-Nov-16 12:36 | | a-1 prop. i was wondering if anyone would be interesting in constructing an a-1 prop for me? i'm alright at making spinner props, but i'm not sure about one's like the a-1. i would be glad to reinberse you. brian. |
| BriandKilby | 10-Nov-16 12:36 | | help wanted? |
| lukebozek1 | 10-Nov-16 21:02 | | Brian, I laminated three pieces of hard balsa and using files and X-acto blades cut out a cross, very slowly. I rounded each of the four nubs/hubs and drilled them out to take the shape of the hubs of a prop. I used a dowel that I preshaped and it came out pretty well for a Guillows Thunderbolt, like yours. You can do this, just take your time. |
| Don C | 10-Nov-16 21:36 | | Brian. Check out in my C-46 build. You need a small clamp or vise to keep your fingers clear, but then needle files and sandpaper and a lot of patience. Like lukebozek said: You CAN do it. |
| BriandKilby | 11-Nov-16 08:21 | | thank you luke and don for your help, i'll give it a try. |
| Don C | 11-Nov-16 13:54 | | Good for you! Gotta try new stuff. |
| Skyediamonds1985 | 13-Nov-16 17:46 | | Brian, take some pictures as you go along and we'll see if we can guide you. If all else fails, let us know. |
| BriandKilby | 13-Nov-16 18:42 | | ok sky, thanks. I've made my props and working on the hubs. |
