Sorry for saying truth..I’ll take myself out of this forum. I learned a lot in this forum but also learned there’s a bunch of people who think they’re smarter than their education. I’ve lived it .I’ve seen it..That should mean something..Let the criticisms begin…

This is the plan.We’re all supposed to forget the greatness of our country.. To be replaced with disdain and anger.. Things don’t just happen…All the lives and blood lost..Such a disgrace..Our leadership is compromised…

I like the TA-152 h1..

I don’t know but I think the older diplomatic codes were changed by that time and Rommel couldn’t read our mail anymore. That’s what made him the so-called Desert Fox. Also,by that time the supply train was getting slim on most everything ..That’s what made Malta such an important base.Just a...

I worked on props and sometimes had to trim damaged blade tips .The trim had limitations for prop diameter. If it was within diameter limits.the blade angles would be twisted at the blade stations ,which also had limitations, thickness and width..Sometimes I would have to change Ham Standard...

Excellent job.. I have a ton of maintenance time…Brings back memories…

Outstanding work. You should be very proud of them..

I love well made miniatures. I want to try my hand at all metal models. I tried to do a Ta-152 h1 in wood but I couldn’t get the finite results I was looking for ..You have a great eye for doing models..Excellent paint !

Corregidor is a site to see. That very long bombed out building is barracks ,maybe a half mile long. It’s right next to the parade ground. When Battery Hern was fired all the windows in the barracks shock and some shattered. Those 2 artillery pieces are Battery Crockett . After they were...

I can see why wing incidence could be the trouble.Maybe since the engine was a tad forward of cg, also? Just a thought.

I use to have a natops on the F4J too but it got lost with all the moving going on. I was an engine mech. Hi-power runs were a hoot…Sims training too..NAS Miramar,fightertown USA at that time…What memories!

Thankfully I never had that particular problem but I did have some trouble with defoliant collecting in the prop kidney bearings on Ham Standard 2d30 and 12D40 . Gummying up the bearings so bad,they wouldn’t change pitch..Ag-Cat or converted Stearman.

I would think the wood props are made in Germany by a specialized company who makes hard to get props out of wood.The correct metal props would be too expensive if they can be found at all..Besides,Germany has a long history of making wood props..Ie..Luftwaffe….

I have a healthy respect for ag pilots. They know how to cut through cables at the end of the run without balling it up in the ground..I used to recondition props and have sanded out many cable marks …
