That is a nice tweak with the wing change.. I like where it is going  :thumbsup:

After umpty zillion PSR sessions I've got the Super Monsoon to a state where I might put some colour coat on it.



It needs a lot more work yet, and I'm thinking of asking for a GB extension................  :-\

Spent much of the day trying to make rotating contra-props for the Super Monsoon and the Spiteful.

What a PITA that was, and I've still not got it all done yet, having snapped all EIGHT blades off the Wyvern prop-spinner assembly I'm using for the Super Monsoon.  :banghead:

I just know they'll continue to snap off at every show I take it to!

Perfect is the enemy of Finished. I presume. I've never achieved either.

A small drill and wire is about the best suggestion I can give you, along with my sympathies.

The blades are VERY thin, too thin for wire I'm afraid. So far I've got just one of them glued firmly in position!

It certainly looks mean with that monster spinner up front though.

Here are my ad hoc Blu-Tak jigs for re-gluing the Super Monsoon's prop blades. Needs must etc.

That's the Spiteful with its rotating contra-prop behind them of course.
