Still in the CNC machine - here is a picture of the new wooden propeller which we designed to suit this unique engine and airframe combination. Note the extra wide tapering hub to match with the cowlings.

GIPSY MOTH PROPELLER
Our latest propeller under construction is for a DH60 Gipsy Moth. The aircraft is being re-engined with a Gipsy Major 1 engine which has been modified to run the right way up - cylinders pointing upwards. The increase in power will make this aircraft much more usable than with the original Wright engine.
