as to the scale prop question, the sept 03 issue of model aviation magazine has a quick blurp about a scale ww1 hub it looks great and they give contact info to order. it says you can get them from balsa usa or the designer directly. his name is Ralph Vannaman and i show an e mail of [email protected] or write him at 2301 13th ave menominee MI 49858. the hub looks good and the price in the mag says 24.95 plus shipping.


in another issue i read about making a scale looking prop basically by taking a wooden prop stripping the finnish of of it, sanding the tips round and restaining it a darker, more realistic color. in that article it even had contact info for ww1 era prop decals that can be applied to your new ww1 prop. i guess it goes without saying that if you do this then the new prop and your balancer will get to know eath other real well. i just wish i could remember which issue i read that in to pass it along too.
