Very cool Terry, that prop really pops, can't wait for the finish :popcorn
 
Well we getting very close to the end of this little project. Now it's time to add the radio wires. A lot of American planes have tension springs and the F3F has three. No problem all you have to make them and it's really not hard to do. Here's some pictures of what I did.

Terry

Start with two gauges of wire.
