You're welcome Dave. I've always been a little fussy about propellers. I wanna make sure they spin smoothly.

Album info

One of the things I don't like about the props in some kits is the way their build is designed. This kit is a good example. Instead, I use a rivet which is cut and used as a kind of shaft which is glued to the fuselage. This way I can put together the prop by the end of the build process, so that the prop doesn't interfere in the build and is kept safe, therefore avoiding any accidental breakage. Also, the spinning of the prop is improved significantly.
