As difficult as it may become the idea of carving my own prop is certainly enticing.A couple of planks 76 inches long and 8 inches wide some titebond 3 andan electric chain saw. I got the saw, sawhorses,clamps,benches all I need is the profile and lots of whoknows what to start hacking away and removing all the pieces that don't looklike a propeller. Once that task is complete I should be left with a propellerRight. No biggie. I been thinkin on it for some time just need to get the woodand get gluon.

Curt:See page 48 of the 1933 Flying and Glider Manual...Given the unique rudder and wire braced wings I am thinking Henderson Longster.http://www.rcflyg.se/forum/attachment.p ... jpgMichael Silvius----- Original Message -----

>From the odd curvature of the forward tube of the rudder, and the narrow landinggear, it's possible that this is a Albany-Washowski variant of a Longster.Radius of the rudder curve would have matched that of a maple tree in old Mr Washowski'sback yard near Albany, MN, around that time.The engine isn't original, of course, assuming that's what this is. That lookslike a VW in the picture. Don't think there were VW's back then (or plasticfuel tanks). Don't see the 3 cylinder Anzani's very much.No telling what kind of interesting stuff can be found in old Minnesota barns...- Pat--------Patrick Hoyt601XLb/CorvairN63PZ - 99.999% done....Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Modified Seine Knot
