The Ultimate RC Scale Accessory: Static Scale Propellers

When it comes to scale RC planes, the biggest thing that ruins the scale looks of the plane is the “smaller than scale” flying propeller. Many warbird pilots will at least paint their props the correct color and add the yellow safety propeller tips, but if you really want to get maximum attention at the flying field, nothing beats a static scale (non-flying) propeller. Follow along as Gerry Yarrish builds and finishes a 3-blade, Hamilton Standard kit from Nick Ziroli Plans (ziroliplans.com) and adds a scratch-built propeller hub assembly for some added eye candy.
