He had a mini biplane named after a Humming bird in Spanish. As Iremember, and that's not too good lately, this plane had a true scimtar propeller. I ordered my prop for 41CC from Hegy but Ray has long been gone and hisgrandson Jim Corder made me a beautiful semi-scimitar. He also made anotherfor 311CC which I sold with the project. Jim has moved from Marfa, Texas toOlathe, Colorado. His phone is 970 323 6341. He just might have some of hisgrandpas patterns for a full scimitar.

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Scimitar PropellerCorky,I had previously posted the fact that I have a scimitar on my Piete made by Jay Anderson in TX. Was wondering, what engine did you have cranking yoursemi-scrimitar? The one I have is on a 108hp Lyco, and I get about 2550rpms,on takeoff and 2200 static. Wonder if a corvair or less hp engine couldswing a scrimitar. Anyone out there wanting to try this may want to get thepitch right for the HP available. These props have a heck of a lot of bite.Gordon Original Message:-----------------
