Pond Racer
I am almost finished with the Pond Racer. Diddled around with the landing gear and it came out alright. just a few details left and a trip to the hardware store to pick some light bulbs whose plastic wrap resembles most the canopy.
The making of the propellers and spinners:
Cut some strips from a cotton ear swab, and pressed as flat as I could one end of the paper stick.
Folded the two parts of the blade and inserted the flat en into the blades and sandwiched it shut.
The main parts of the propellers and the spinners.
Placed the blade at 90 degrees to each other. and placed a lock cap on top of the center joints.
Trimmed out the channel for the blades on the spinner.
make sure the blades are angled at approx 45 degrees.
The matching set with the center rods.
and finally a test fit, will glue later after the landing gear is finished.
