| mlriley540 | Scratch Built Dewoitine D.520 | Build | 04-Oct-17 19:28 |  | | Views : 2814 | | Had to add a trim tab, stuck on with a glue stick. Removable. With just a little trim it fles quite straight. |
| LASTWOODSMAN | Herr Engineering HRR 105, Fokker D-7 | Parked | 03-Oct-17 22:27 |  | | Views : 4521 | | Closeup of the two sizes, and two colors, of bolt heads on the two bolt circles on the prop hub, with one dressmaker's pin in the middle of the hub. The bolt heads are not exactly perfectly located, but, it was the best I could do. |
| LASTWOODSMAN | Herr Engineering HRR 105, Fokker D-7 | Parked | 03-Oct-17 22:23 |  | | Views : 5195 | | Here is the finished prop, with that 90 degree bend of the prop shaft glued into the recessed trough in the propeller face behind the prop hub, and the removeable nose block, all assembled to the prop. |
| LASTWOODSMAN | Herr Engineering HRR 105, Fokker D-7 | Parked | 03-Oct-17 22:12 |  | | Views : 4553 | | Here I started putting in the silver smaller Dressmaker's pins. I centered the hub with a pin in the middle and then 2 more pins. I then drilled small 0.025" holes through the hub holes and into the prop wood, but not too far. Then I cut the pins short so as not to go through the other side of the prop. Then I used needle nose plliers to start inserting the 0.023" diam pins into the predrilled holes, then pushed the heads of the pins down the rest of the way, even with the hub face. I did not even need to use any glue - the last part of the pin shafts went through undrilled balsa. |
