These frames will be fitted near the end of the build.The photos make them look all flattened out, but when they are in position they will take the proper shape.....trust me!!!!!!

Next time I post I will be showing you how I am going to make the spinner and props for this Lysander,I have already got some ideas ......I have just got to try them out!!

Cheers Chaps

I forgot I had these photos,so here is how I am going to make the Prop spin.

So as you can see the Prop Shaft is made from a cut metal rod with a stop made from wire insulation glued to the end.I will retain the shaft in moving backwards by some sort of retainer!!!,The shaft will then pass through the engine and will be glued to a Propeller Hub that I made.

As you can see this was replicated with the use of Plastic and wire insulation.

 

The next post will be how I make the Spinner and Prop Blades.

Hi guys

havn't had much time just lately to do any modeling but was able to sqeeze in .........."Trying to make a Spinner!!!"

Staring ....."one pee'd off M.Foster!! :evil_laugh: as you can imagine I didn't have a great time with it!!!

Any way..... to start with I decided on using Balsa Wood ,so to that end I cut a block roughly the size of the Sinner and made a Template for the shape...........................
