and drills work best? I...

have certain advantages over metal and composites. A wood prop has
virtually no memory and is not subject to fatigue as is metal. Also on
contact, a wood prop will not result in as much damage to engine/crank
etc. I know a few...

Wooden Notes by
[email protected]
To All:
The low cost and wide availability of wood in America makes it a good
choice for the budget-minded builder of simple flying machines. The
only problem is that when picking the stacks at the local lumber yard
you need to know a fair amount about wood in order to select the most
suitable...

Wooden laminations by
SkyDaddy
About five years ago I cut and planed Douglas Fir planks for the
landing gear of my Fly Baby, but we moved before I got them glued up.
I'm finally getting back into the swing of things. Should I re-plane
them to get a fresh-cut surface before I glue them?

Wood Prop Question by
Kyle Boatright
Those of us who fly behind (or in front of) wooden props usually reduce RPM
significantly when entering rain. I reduce RPM to 1900 in rain, or I see
minor damage, despite the urethane leading edges. For me, 1900 rpm results
in a rotational tip speed of about 400 mph. This doesn't consider the...

I'm working on the center section for a Hatz. The trailing edge of the
center section is a recurved lamination that provides better access to the
front cockpit.
I've steamed and clamped the strips into a form, and they have taken on some
