Covered this wing root with tissue and painted. Note wing tip is raised a little to reduce left turning.

Side View - and now to experiment to get the right color of stain, by practising on left over sawed off pieces of the prop block. "Cabernet Red" is so dark, that it does not even show the painted grain line layers. "Golden Oak" and "American Walnut" are best so far. I will try mixing a few drops of "Cabernet Red" in with "Natural" wood stain to try to get a light red color stain.

Rear View - now to design an ornamental, scale-like Prop Hub Mounting Plate worthy enough to adorn the front of this prop. The prop might be a tad bulky, but better thatn too thin - better to quit while I am ahead ...

Bright sun helped my modest camera get at least some decent images.

Glide ratio was excellent, trim under power was off a bit.

From today. Broke a wing at the root, but still ok for display, I may just fix the tissue and leave it.
