WTG Bob!!
Sure, wait till it's done to say something... :smack
That turned out great Bob!
One of my favorite old timey movies is ''The Spirit of Saint Louis'' starring Jimmy Stewart, even though I have seen that movie several times the take-off scene from New York still has me holding my breath every time I watch it, what a scene. :woohoo: No CGI here.ldguy

Those little dark spots on the prop?..just call them battle damage.

Probably did. But here's the thing. The nose of the prop spinner is pointed, this means it's the spinner that was installed prior to the arrival at Roosevelt Field. The spinner cracked en-route and they had to have another one fabricated, that was has a more rounded point to it and it's the one currently installed on the Spirit. So for the rivet counters I gotta make it pristine.
At this point, I'm not taking this to any shows, if I redo the prop correctly I may but we'll see.

But in all honesty , it is doubtful that the judges will be that knowledgeable :idonno
