C45 Prop

[SETOYOTA]

While not a whole airplane. I think this is the right place to post. I wanted to post a pic of a project I have been working on for a while. This is a prop off a C45 expediter . Turned out pretty good

I love stuff like that. Clever repurpose of an engine stand.

Some close ups of the prop itself. It was finished some time ago and had to think of a way to display it. Weighs a couple hundred pounds.

No don't have a Prat and Whitney R985 to spin it. A little heavy to.

Is that like the samurais used to suspend their katanas above their mats when they sleep by a thin strand of silk?

No don't have a Prat and Whitney R985 to spin it. A little heavy to.

Isn't there a guy who moved a C45 recently with a WW2 Federal wrecker on here (or g503.com) that will sell you the missing pieces to the rest of the C45?

Sorry couldn't help myself!

Don't need to spin it enough to RAISE THE ROOF, just enough for a comfortable breeze.

Sure it's heavy, but you can either beef up the ceiling structure or simply use a smaller motor.

Part 1: Samurai = CRAZED to the point of self-destruction...... Enough said.

Part 2: Like Johnny Cash - Build it one piece at a time.
