Hi Edo
– Nice to see you managed to finish the Pfalz – a really good save from disatser. I particulary like your wooden prop and rigging – very convincing!
Cheers to a strong finish
Best Regards

Hi Edo,
One effective way to understand how the
laminations work on a propeller is to take a piece
of 5 ply plywood, cutting and sanding it into the shape of a propeller.
Size is not a problem as it is not actually doing anything, so
it can be as large as you need. The laminations show up
pretty good in the plywood.

Hi Edo. I'm n ot sure how I've missed this thread in the past, but it makes a great example of how a near-disaster can be turned around into a great finished build.
Congratulations mate, excellent work !!
Cheers, D
