Now available: Peanut “Scale” Propellers and Canopies!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Canopies:<\/strong>\u00a0 I’ve decided to no longer “limit” my production of canopies.\u00a0 When I started, I was afraid of inconsistent results due to base materials.\u00a0 I have now worked a process that produces good results.\u00a0 I am starting with the canopies for my Peanut Short Kits:\u00a0 Fairey Barracuda, Vought Corsair, Polikarpov I-16, Yakevlov Yak-3, and the Messerschmitt BF-109e.\u00a0 These are the same items that already come in the short kits, but maybe you want extras or replacements – now you can get them.<\/p>\n

“Scale” Props<\/strong>:\u00a0 Similarly, I am now able to produce good quality 3D-printed “scale” props for some of my Peanut Short Kits:\u00a0 Vought Corsair, Aircraft Designs Stallion, Fairey Barracuda, Yakevlov Yak-3, and the Messerschmitt BF-109e.\u00a0 All but the Corsair props come with a 3d-Printed spinner with index marks for the blade locations.\u00a0 The propellers are printed from heat-resistant ABS plastic and are available in your choice of Black or Gray (sometimes, spinner color choice is also available).<\/p>\n

I have had great success flying these props on my Corsair and Stallion, so I decided to expand and sell them.\u00a0 The files were created in conjunction with Archie Adamisin and his “3D PROPS” venture.\u00a0 I am calling them “scale” props because they have the same number of blades are the full-scale propellers, but the quotation marks refer to the fact that they are larger than the scale ratio.\u00a0 The do give a more realistic appearance to the model.<\/p>\n

Currently, all the 4-bladed props are the same, as are the 3-bladed props, with the exception of the Stallion 3-blade prop.\u00a0 It is smaller, due to the lighter model and motor used.<\/p>\n

Another comment is that these have worked for me.\u00a0 I identify the target model weight and rubber usage.\u00a0 Given that every model is different, your mileage may vary.\u00a0 The 4-blade and 3-blade props have the same blade area, so switching for a 4-blade to a 3-blade (like on the Corsair) should make no appreciable difference.<\/p>\n

NOTE<\/strong>:\u00a0 NONE of the props come with ramp.\u00a0 This is to allow the builder to install his favorite clutch mechanism.\u00a0 Also, the shaft hole is a generic 1\/16″ nominal diameter, again, allowing the builder to properly bush the hole with their favorite tubing solution.<\/p>\n

Finally, I have tested these on each of my models – they do fly the models!<\/p>\n

Currently, I am only offering Peanut Props and Canopies.\u00a0 I will work to expand these as time goes by.<\/p>\n
