wooden props
Posted by lpolpo22 on Tuesday, July 29, 2003 4:53 PM
Is there any information on carving wood props? Buying them would be even better.

I've seen articles on this in radio control a/c mags - really, the only way is to laminate alternating layers of light/dark wood and start carving and sanding. I've done it before and it works a treat - it's just fiddly and there's no real shortcuts.
Have a look at an RC equivalent of FSM magazine (is there one?), or see if they have a website - maybe they have a forum where someone can post the article in question.
Cheers,

No problem. If you get any give us a quick review, if you don't mind. My guess is the pictures don't do them justice.

I've been in contact with Mr. Eric Hight of Cooper State Models and he assures me that the props are of high quality. A review will be forthcoming when they are received. Thanks again
