Default RE: Scale Propeller Availability

OK, that all sounded very non English, so maybe this helps you?
They're actually rather easy to make (dummy static props) once you get your head around the concept. All the exotic shapes just automatically appear once you start cutting and sanding.
Just make up a 6 layer laminated log. Next draw the out line of the prop (middle pic on you diagram) and band saw out the shape.
Then sand in the top slope from near the hub to the tip, then airfoil sections as indicated in the errrrr.... other drawing.
Yeap, this is sounding useful[]
Possibly the worst tech drawing of my career[&o]
