Hello guys,

today I want to show you step by step, how to build a flyable scale propeller.
I built the propeller with white ash and it can be used to fly.

First, they enlarge the drawing to the size they you need.
I copy one of the propeller halves and create then a complete propeller.

I do the same with the side view.
The top view and the side view you cut out exactly.

The next step is to cut the wood.
If you do it with more layer, so much better the quality.
5 layers are the mean, but you can mix also different types of wood as to the original propellers.
Most of the propellers were built with 5 and 7 layers, but I will not discuss the exact type of wood.

Of the German ww1 propellers and also before the great war, I have very accurate information and when you need some info, then I will surely help.

greetings Matz

Step 1.
The Drawings and your idea.

@ Don,
yes, I‘ve seen your thread and your prop looks good, but I'm not talking about stand propellers or deco props.

@ All other guys,

For decoration plays the diameter,pitch and the angle not matter, but for a flyable propeller are the datas very important.

It is not possible to constructing a propeller with high performance only with a photo and about datas.

And for models with large propellers (1/2, 1/3 and 1/4 ) the data must be absolutely correct,...the parameters must match and not circa.

A scale propeller should not only look good, he should also work.

For the next steps I need first is a diagram drawing that everyone understands how to do that, but it soon goes on.
