The "No Propellers" Group build will be starting soon so I thought we should start talking about it.

I've been thinking of doing one of the F-86 family of fighters I have in my stash.
I'm leaning toward the F-86D or F but I'm not sure I want to to another NMF so soon.

surprisingly i have plenty of options for this one, but might join you with an RAF 112 Sqn Sabre complete with a shark mouth !

Hmmm. A Messerschmitt Me 262 should do the job, right?

Or perhaps a Grunau Baby (a glider, so it's "no propeller").

Wurger · Jul 23, 2021

Well, it didn't have the propeller ...

tango35 · Jul 23, 2021

Wayne Little · Jul 24, 2021

I can see Karl has a trouble with a size.

They had to figure out a way to make the prop turn real fast, that's why they put a rocket engine in it

rochie · Jul 24, 2021

Now i thought the tiny prop attached to a rubber band that cold started the rocket motor !

I never would have thought of that.
