Pietenpol-List: scimitar propellers

Post by matronics »

The CarterCopter has flown quite extensively using a "hollow blade" (their name for it) scimitar propeller for the pusher. Pictures and info on it athttp://www.cartercopters.com/propeller_system.htmlThere was an extensive write-up on the design and construction of the Carter hollow blade scimitar prop in Contact! magazine a few issues back. Now I'm sure nobody plans to use something like that on a Piet, and you were probably referring to a wood laminated, antique style scimitar! And of course, you've seen the semi-scimitar that is on what was John Dilatush's "Mountain Piet", pictures at http://www.flysquirrel.net/piets/John_piet.html , more of a classic design.Oscar ZunigaSan Antonio, TXmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net_________________________________________________________________The average US Credit Score is 675.
