Hi Barry & Roman,

Sounds like you are having fun with those Props, I was certainly interested to read the glass method for carving props and will cetrainly bear that in mind next time I have a go.
Like Barry says, I would have been tempted to carve my own but they do take time...worth it though for the end result.

Surely a quicker way to get a nice prop would be to use one of the ones intended for R/C Models, there are quite a few nice wooden props on the market now which will at least have the right sort of blade profile you are looking for. As it will be fitted to a non flying model you can always do any other modifications necessary without having to worry about shedding blades etc with an engine turning over at high rpm's

Regards......Mark.
