Naramvery nice, I would be interested to know how you did the rigging and the propellers

JW AuthorPierre the rigging is done using GasPatch resin or metal turnbuckles, hand made eyes from fine copper wire, Infini Aero Rigging and .5mm Albion Alloys micro tubing. You can look at some of Bughunter's work here on Scalemates to get a better idea of how it is done or look at some of the build logs from Mike Sandbagger Norris at mikesww1aircraftmodels.com/about.html The props are just 7 pieces of alternating color wood veneer glued into a blank and then cut and sanded to shape. Right now it is taking about 2 hours to get one prop ready for stain and varnish. I'm hoping to get that time down a little.
