That is a change to see you with a wingy thing Paul, Rick seems to remember some but I can't .

Excellent work Paul. Your knowledge is always impressive as well.

Yes Paul has helped me many time from making big Mistakes

[Mini Me]

Paul, in the past I used a compass cutter and cut a disc from clear styrene sheet.......works like a champ and simulates a spinning prop really well, just thinking out loud...... :thinking: Rick H.

Winged beast is coming along Paul. Will look great flying above the rest.

Hi Paul
Branching out :thumb2: Plane looks fine to me. I'll be most interested in seeing how you do a spinning prop.

Good looking bird.......that 3350 was a first in the T-bolt if I remember correctly. Hell of a powerplant once they got the "bugs" worked out. :thumb2: Rick H.

Mine will have the later 'paddle blade' prop.

[Mini Me]

The "need for speed" was ever present in those days:thumb2:

[minitnkr]

I think it even had water injection for that 'little extra'.

Was this in the " other house " Paul ?

[minitnkr]

Yes Dzohn, but I posted some of my MM stuff on here soon after joining. See ....Some of My Previous Work.... in the Completed Dios section.

First attempt at prop in flight. Didn't notice the bug till posted.

[Mini Me]

Not bad at all..........I'm wondering if a neutral grey for the prop blades might tone it down a bit and still give you the illusion of movement you are after. My years on the flight line showed me that the faster the prop spins the more faint the colors become...even the bright colors on the blade tips almost disappear at full throttle.....just some mutterings 'bout the good old days:thumb2: Rick H.
