I am a hobbyist, and am trying to model propellers for various aircraft using SolidWorks then 3D print them. Where would I find accurate cross section data for aircraft like the F4U Corsair, P40, P51?

For the Hamilton props, try contacting the UTAS historian, via their PR office. For all US props, you could also try digging into NASA's ntrs.nasa.gov archive or Cranfield's Aerade site. Service and maintenance manuals may have this information, too, so try hunting up overhaul and repair shops. I think GregP is involved in aircraft restoration; he may have the information or know who does.
I am drawing a blank trying to find blue prints for the Hamilton Standard Props used on the Corsair. Does anyone have any additional information for me to check out?
